About Internet Fax

Unlike general fax communications using public phone lines, Internet Fax (hereafter
referred to as iFax) uses corporate intranets and the Internet to send or receive scan
documents as e-mail attachments.
Because iFax uses existing corporate intranets and the Internet, the transmission is
less expensive than general fax transmission. By using a fax gateway, the machine can
also communicate with fax machines that do not support the iFax feature.
For more information on the fax gateway feature, refer to "Sending an iFax to normal fax machines via a
relay station" (P.118).
For information on how to connect the machine to a network and set the network environment, refer to
the "Network Administrator Guide" and the manual on the Driver CD Kit CD-ROM.
Important • The Internet Fax feature is not available while the Server Fax feature is enabled.
