Using Remote Faxes - Canon imagerunner advance C5550i User Manual

Using Remote Faxes

Even if you have a multifunction printer without the ability to fax, you can use the printer to send and receive faxes via
another multifunction printer with fax functionality if both printers are on the same network. In this case, the printer
with fax functionality and the printer without fax functionality can be likened to a server machine and client machine,
respectively. Sharing fax functionality and communication lines reduces introduction costs and offers an efficient use
of fax functions.
