Abnormal files
Abnormal data is handled as follows:
1. The IFAX stops receiving data.
2. The IFAX requests the server to delete the data.
3. The IFAX facsimile outputs an error report.
4. The IFAX sends an error message via e-mail to the sender.
5. The incomplete data in the memory of the IFAX facsimile is deleted (if any).
The IFAX facsimile outputs an error report when it fails to send the error message
after a certain number of attempts.
The IFAX finds data abnormal, if it detects any of the following:
• Unsupported MIME headers
The table lists supported types.
Header
Content-Type
Charset
Content-Transfer-Encoding
• MIME decoding errors
• Any file format other than the TIFF-F format
• Unsupported resolution, document size, or compression type
SAF Capacity Error
The IFAX calls the server but does not fetch e-mailed data if the SAF capacity is
insufficient (☛ IFAX Switch 08). The IFAX fetches the data when the SAF capacity
becomes sufficient (for example, after substitute reception files are printed). The
error handling process is the same as Abnormal Files.
If the SAF memory is exhausted while the IFAX is fetching e-mailed data, this is
also handled in the same way as Abnormal File.
Supported Types
Multipart/mixed, text/plain, message/rfc822 Image/tiff
US-ASCII, ISO 8859 X. Other types cannot be handled,
and some garbage may appear in the data.
Base 64, 7-bit, 8-bit, Quoted Printable
