Important Information

01006000001
The DX-1000 uses the same communication protocols as email: the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The
differences from a standard G3 fax communication using the Public Telephone Network (PSTN) are as follows.

Differences between Internet Fax and Regular Fax

01006030001
A regular Fax machine goes off-hook, dials, and the phone network completes a circuit over phone lines to
01006020001
the receiving fax. You pay for the circuit. The two faxes negotiate a connection, synchronize and exchange
image data.
The Internet Fax works like an email, the image data is broken down into packets and transmitted through
your Local Area Network (LAN) to the Internet or Intranet instead of using a telephone company's network,
thus saving you long distance costs.

Transmitted Document Confirmation

01006050001
1. The DX-1000 does not directly connect to the final destination, but rather connects to a Mail Server via
01006020008
LAN. Therefore, if a document cannot be correctly transmitted due to an error, the erroneous mail may
be returned from the Mail Server to the DX-1000.
2. The erroneous mail may take a long time to return (20 to 30 minutes) depending on the destination location,
01006050016
traffic on the network or LAN system configuration.
3. Depending on the Mail Server, it is also possible that erroneous mail is not returned at all. Therefore, when
01006050017
transmitting important or time sensitive documents, it is recommended that you follow up with a telephone
call to confirm reception.
4. Documents cannot be transmitted correctly if the destination Mail Server does not conform to the MIME
01006050018
protocol. Erroneous mail may not be returned depending on the Mail Server.

DX-1000 Cannot Make a Phone Call via LAN

01006050019
1. The DX-1000 can only make a phone call using a regular telephone line (PSTN).
01006020002
2. During LAN communication, telephone or fax communication through PSTN is not available.

Transmission Resolution

01006050006
In view of PC transmission, the factory default setting for the resolution is set to FINE mode. If required, this
01006020003
setting can be changed to Normal.

Internet Mail Reception

01006050007
1. The DX-1000 can receive text email from a PC and print ANSI characters. It will print a "J" symbol if an
01006020004
unrecognized character is received.
2. Received email font and character size are fixed and cannot be changed.
01006050008
3. Text email will be printed at about 72 lines per page. It is recommended that you use A4/Letter size
01006050009
recording paper.
4. If the received text email includes a file attachment in a format other than TIFF-F, such as Word, Excel,
01006050010
Power Point, the DX-1000 prints an error message instead.
5. If the received email includes attached TIFF-F formatted image files, the text and TIFF-F formatted image
0100605001 1
file will be printed on separate pages.
