Internet Fax Transmission Overview

You can send faxes over the Internet. When you send faxes to Internet Fax destinations, the machine converts scanned images to TIFF-F format files and send them as attachments to e-mail.

Important

  • The level of security for Internet communications is low. It is recommended that you use the telephone network for confidential communications.

  • Internet Fax delivery might be delayed due to network congestion. Use a public telephone line if the fax needs to be delivered in a timely manner.

Note

  • The Internet Fax function supported by this machine is compliant with ITU-T Recommendation T.37 (Simple Mode).

  • To use the Internet Fax function, network settings must be configured properly. For details about network settings, see Connecting the Computer and Installing the Software (Network Connection).

  • Internet Fax transmission may take some time before it starts. The machine needs a certain amount of time to convert data in memory prior to transmission.

  • Depending on e-mail environment conditions, you may not be able to fax large images.

  • The “Photo” resolution is not available for Internet Faxes. Faxes will be sent using “Detail” resolution if “Photo” resolution has been specified.

  • If the faxes are received on a computer, a viewer application needs to be installed in order to view the documents.
