When encryption is enabled, specify a destination marked with Icon illustration (encryption individually specifiable per message).

  • E-mails sent to a destination marked with Icon illustrationare encrypted at all times.

  • When you specify an unmarked destination to send an e-mail, the e-mail sent to the destination will not be encrypted even when encryption is enabled.

9Press [Start].

Note

  • When you send a URL link to a scanned document instead of attaching the document to the e-mail, only the e-mail message is encrypted. The document stored in the machine is not encrypted.

  • Storing the Scanned Document in the Machine and Sending the URL by E-mail

  • The size of an e-mail increases when encryption is specified.

  • Applying security to e-mail may reduce transmission speed.

  • If a certificate has expired while transferring e-mail from the server to a destination, the destination might not be able to receive the e-mail.

  • Encrypting Network Communication

  • Note that the following can result if certain signature settings are specified by the administrator:

    • [Signature] does not appear. This is because you cannot apply signatures to scan files that are sent by e-mail.

    • You cannot change the [Signature] settings. This is because a signature is always applied to scan files that are sent by e-mail.
