Internet fax overview

Internet faxing (I-Fax) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport
mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that
computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has as an application
that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use a TIFF-F viewer application. Any documents sent via
the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and receive messages
to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support the MIME format.
