Server Fax

Server Fax allows you to send a fax over a network to a fax server, which then sends the fax to a fax
machine over a phone line.
Before you can send a server fax, you must configure a fax filing repository, or filing location. The fax
server retrieves the documents from the filing location and transmits them over the telephone network.
You can also print a transmission report.

Configure a Server Fax Filing Repository

Before you can send a server fax, you must configure fax repository settings. Once configured, the
printer will transfer faxed images to the repository. The fax server will then send the fax to its
destination over the phone line.
You can set up a repository that uses one of the following protocols:
• FTP
• SMB
• SMTP
