The machine supports Direct SMTP, which lets you directly send Internet faxes within your
company without using a mail server.
To use the Internet fax function, the Internet fax expansion kit must be installed.
For the operating procedure, see "SENDING A FAX IN INTERNET FAX MODE".
Data entry mode
In data entry mode, information entered using the touch panel or automatically generated by
the machine is sent to a directory on an FTP server or an application on a PC as a metadata
file in XML format.
Installing the application integration module is required to use the metadata delivery
function.
The application integration module can be combined with the network scanner to
append a metadata file to a scanned image file.
Metadata is information about a file, how it is to be processed, and its relation to
other objects.
For the operating procedure, see "TRANSMITTING METADATA".
