The Differences Between iFax and Fac-
simile Features
This section describes the differences between iFax and facsimile features.
iFax Can Do the Following for You
IReduces transmission cost
As iFax transmit the data via Intranet or Internet, the transmission cost can be
saved, compared to the usual facsimile transmission. You can also use iFax to
communicate via the fax gateway with the facsimile machine that does not sup-
port the iFax feature.
This feature sends faxes as E-mails to iFax-installed machines that are con-
nected to the network via the Internet. When faxes are received, the iFax-
installed machine (fax gateway) converts them into faxes and forwards them to
the specified facsimile. This feature is useful to save on transmission cost if the
sender and recipient of the fax transmission are in the local call area.
The E-mail received in the iFax-installed machine will be forwarded as a fax document with a mail
header and attachment.
For details on the fax gateway feature, see "13.4.2 Sending Faxes to Recipients as Relay Centers"
(P. 284).
