What is an Internet Fax?
NIC FAX converts scanned document images to E-mail format and transmits the
data over the Internet.
The E-mail sent by NIC FAX can be received by another NIC FAX or a PC. In-
stead of inputting the telephone number of the destination you want to send to,
you input the applicable E-mail address.
Documents are sent as E-mail messages with an attached TIFF-F image. Because
of this, a MIME-compatible E-mail reader is required in order to view docu-
ments received on a PC. To view an attached image, software that is capable of
displaying TIFF-F formatted images is required. NIC FAX application includes
ICViewer, which can be used to view, edit, and store image data. (See the IC-
Viewer Operating Instructions for full details on how to use it.)
You can also receive E-mail messages from PCs or other Internet fax machines
and print or forward them.
Note
NIC FAX must be connected to a LAN, installed, and set up correctly in order
to use its Internet fax functions. See Chapter 1, "Getting Ready" in this manual
for details on connecting to a LAN and making initial settings.
