Q8. What capabilities does the Color NIC FAX Unit support?
A8. The NIC FAX Unit supports important productivity enhancing functions, specifically,
Internet Fax, Color Scan-to-E-mail, IP Fax, LAN Fax, Proof Print and Network Scanning
functionality. The NIC FAX Unit is standard on the Gestetner F104L, optional on the F104.
Q9. What is Color Scan-to-E-mail?
A9. The NIC FAX Unit (standard: Gestetner F104L; optional: F104) includes a Color JPEG Board
that supports full color scan to e-mail. This enables users to quickly convert hardcopy pho-
tographs, illustrations, maps, etc. to electronic computer files. These images can be shared
with others (e-mailed), incorporated into a presentation or simply archived. Files can also
be scanned as a PDF (Portable Document Format), a universal file format that preserves
fonts, formatting, graphics and color of any document. A more compact file size is also
achieved, making document distribution easier and faster. Just keep in mind that to view a
PDF file the e-mail recipient must have Adobe Acrobat Reader on their PC.
Note: You can download a copy of Acrobat Reader from the Adobe website.
Q10. What is the maximum resolution the Gestetner F104 Series can achieve when configured

printing, via the LAN Fax driver, is also supported [optional: F104; standard: F104L]). If
the optional 40-MB Flash Memory Card is installed, proof printing resolution increases to
600 x 600 dpi.
Q11. Is third-party LAN Fax software required in order to send a fax from a computer?

the Color NIC FAX Unit (standard: Gestetner F104L; optional: F104). It also offers a
customizable cover sheet program so you can add a company logo, image or other text.
