About Server Fax
If your machine supports the scan feature, installing the Server Fax Kit (optional) allows
you to use the Fax feature of a Server Fax server.
When your machine does not support the Fax feature and supports the Server Fax
feature only, the Server Fax feature will be enabled automatically.
When your machine supports both the Fax and Server Fax features, manually switch
to the Server Fax feature in System Settings of the System Administration mode.
With this Server Fax feature, you can transfer image data received by the machine to
the Server Fax server and can transfer image data received by the Server Fax server
to the machine via a network based on the settings you made.
The Server Fax feature supports the SMB, FTP, and SMTP protocols.
For information on how to connect the machine to a network and set the network environment, refer to
the Administrator Guide and the manual on the Driver CD Kit CD-ROM.
