Internet Fax Precautions

• Internet Fax communicates with a server over a LAN. It cannot communicate
directly with other parties.
• When using a Transfer Request by e-mail, documents are sent at A4 width.
Documents larger than A4 are reduced to A4 width. If the receiver is in com-
pliance with the T.37 full mode, documents are sent at the width specified in
the Address Book. See p.61 "T.37 Full Mode" and p.212 "Acceptable Types of
Originals", Facsimile Reference <Advanced Features> .
• If a transmission is not successful, this machine usually receives an e-mail er-
ror notification. See p.203 "Server-Generated Error E-mail", Facsimile Refer-
ence <Advanced Features> . However, e-mail error notifications may not be
transmitted for various reasons. It is recommended that you confirm receipt
of important document by calling the other party.
• The level of security for Internet communications is low. It is recommended
that you use the telephone network for confidential communications.
• Voice communication is not supported over a LAN.
• Internet Fax delivery might be delayed due to network congestion. Use Inter-
net Fax transmission that bypasses the SMTP server or a public telephone line
fax whenever communication time is a concern. See p.70 "Bypassing the
SMTP Server".
• If you use this machine with dial-up connection, the Auto E-mail Reception
function accesses the provider's server via telephone line and may incur call
charges even if you do not receive e-mail. To reduce the frequency of server
access, specify a large E-mail Reception Interval. For the E-mail Reception In-
terval setting, see "File Transfer", Network Guide.
