Internet fax settings General Before using Internet Fax, consult with the network administrator about correct network settings. There are two types of setting values for Internet Fax, which are as fol- lows: • Data stored on the fax machine. • Data recorded on the network card.
Settings Internet Fax settings can be viewed by selecting MENU, then 11:SETUP and then 7:LAN OPTIONS. When 7:LAN OPTIONS is selected, the display shows user functions 80 to 93. User functions 80 to 82 are for network printing. Details of these settings are given in Network Printing.
83 >POP INTERVAL 93 >NETWORK SETTINGS 93 NETWORK SETTINGS 1 >IP ADDRESS 93 NETWORK SETTINGS 13 >NIC INITIALISE User functions 83:POP INTERVAL - Intervals when the fax machine polls the server for any incoming e-mail (POP reception). 0 to 60 minutes, adjustable by the minute.

Note 1: If a setting other than TYPE2 has been selected, e-mail remains on the server. Make sure e-mail is deleted from the server man- ually, e.g., from another PC. Note 2: This fax machine keeps a log of up to 50 communications, which is used to prevent any e-mail messages that have already been read from being received again.

or mail client. If the recipient is the same Internet Fax machine, notifica- tion in the following RFC compliant format will be transmitted. Note 1: This setting determines whether or not an MDN request will be sent with transmission. When this fax machine receives e-mail accompanied with an MDN request, it will always return MDN to the sender regardless of this setting.

• 11:FAX Email Address - Enter the email address defined on this machine. Maximum length: 64 characters. • 12:DSN (Delivery Status Notification) - If a mail server that has a DSN function receives a message, it will send a delivery confirmation to the sender of the message.
• SNMP - See the manual for the network card. • Internet Fax - The settings explained above can be entered here in addition to the following items, which are accessible only through the web: SMTP Transmit: Whether or not to enable SMTP transmission protocol.
tion about these settings, but, like web access, there are some differences from the network card that does not support Internet Fax. The following section explains the tabs within Admin Manager. When Admin Manager is started, it first shows a list of network cards con- nected to printers and fax machines.
Internet fax transmission Registering addresses E-mail addresses up to 64 characters long can be assigned to one-touch keys 01 to 40. It is also possible to make up a group of email addresses and assign to one-touch dial numbers, but one-touch dial numbers for both email addresses and telephone numbers cannot be assigned to a single group.

Tiff images InternetFAX converts scanned documents into a single TIFF-format file and sends it by e-mail. This machine can transmit at a resolution of 200 x 100 dpi in STD mode, 200 x 200 dpi in FINE mode, 300 x 300 dpi or 600 x 600 dpi in EX-FINE and 200 x 200 dpi in PHOTO mode.
Internet fax reception This fax machine automatically connects to the server to receive mail according to the POP INTERVAL TIME setting. If there is mail on the server, reception will start automatically. If there is more than one mail message, it will receive all the messages and print them out. However, if the TEXT PRINT setting is ON, it will receive only one message in each reception.

PRINT FROM LAN PRINTING PRESS CLR TO CANCEL MSG. IN MEMORY PRINTING PRESS STOP TO CANCEL Receiving Tiff file This fax machine receives mail messages with Tiff format attachments in the mail server and prints out the attached files. This fax machine can print out Tiff files in the Simple Mode defined in ITU-T T.37.
E-mail to fax Images received by e-mail can be forwarded by Internet Fax to any G3/ G4 fax machine. Internet Fax carries out this operation using SMTP reception. However, this function is not supported by a POP server. When forwarding an e-mail message to a fax telephone number through Internet Fax, the e-mail address must be in the format FAX=[telephone number]@[domain name].

The DNS server replies to the mail server with the IP address of fax.abc.com. The mail server forwards the message onto the Internet Fax. The Internet Fax then forwards the message onto a G3/G4 fax machine with the telephone number of 123. Network scanner This fax machine can be used as a network scanner.

Network Printing Printing documents To print documents on this fax machine via the LAN, the appropriate soft- ware needs to be installed from the supplied CD-ROM and make the cor- rect settings for the environment. Note: When printing on transparencies, set the Media Type to Light, use the manual feed method and set the machine output for face up stacking.
Windows NT4.0/2000 Recommended procedure: Install printer driver. Install network card utility. Configure network card. When printing from Windows NT4.0/2000 please use LPR (Microsoft TCP/IP Printing) included in Windows NT4.0/2000 Add the LPR port as the driver output port and assign it the IP Address configured for network card.
Configure network card. When printing from Windows 3.1, a NetWare Server is required as Win- dows 3.1 is not a network operating system. Printing via LPR from Win- dows 3.1 connected to the network with other commercial TCP/IP protocols, is not assured. Other operating systems Other operating systems, such as Macintosh or UNIX, are not supported.
• 81:PAPER SIZE CHECK (ON, OFF) - With this configuration ON, an alarm will be displayed at the LCD when the paper size specified from the PC and that of the tray specified by fax machine are differ- ent. If this alarm is displayed, set the correct paper size in the speci- fied tray.
Troubleshooting Option board error When OPTION BOARD ERROR is displayed on the fax machine LCD, an error may have been caused at the interface with the network card. In this case, turn off the fax machine, check that the network card is correctly installed and power up again.
