Muratec F-560

Fax

A super G3 fax modem is standard for this
device. The Fax console screen appears
similar to the other interfaces. Fax-only
functions can be accessed by pressing the
"Others" key. These include fax forwarding
(to another fax number, or if set-up on the
network to an e-mail address or network
folder), PIN security, and most significantly
T.37-based I-Fax.
The Fax console screen has the same format as the
copy and scan-to interfaces. Besides analog fax, the
Muratec F-560 also supports I-Fax, letting users
send faxes as emails. The email tab brings up the
shortcut I-Fax destinations.

I-Fax:

I-Fax is another example of this device's on-
ramp capabilities. With I-Fax users can
deliver faxes to another similarly equipped
fax device as an email. With no dial-up, users
save on long distance phone charges.
One issue with Internet-based versus analog
is the lack of standardized support for receipt
acknowledgement. But with the Muratec F-
560, users can set DSN (Delivery Status
Notification), which force the destination
machine to send an email acknowledgement.
For this feature to work properly DNS has to
be supported by the intermediate email
servers.

Receiving Faxes:

The machine will store faxes in memory only
if the device has reached an out of paper
condition. More sophisticated fax handling is

available with the OfficeBridge Expansion Kit,
which supports a fax in-box feature and Web-
retrieval of faxes.

Desktop Faxing:

Remote faxing is available through a special
fax driver. This is a bare bones interface.
Users can adjust resolution — from 200x200,
300x300, or 400x400 — and that's it. Fax
cover page editing is not available. The driver
uses the device's default cover page. For a
cover page editor, users will need to
purchase the OfficeBridge Expansion kit.
Users may be puzzled by the fact there isn't
a way to set fax destinations through the
driver interface. The answer is that there
isn't! Instead the driver launches a Web
interface window that lets users directly enter
phone numbers and email addresses or
search address the device's address book.

tures, including fax forwarding and security.
