About Internet Fax

Unlike a regular fax machine, Internet Fax uses corporate networks or the Internet
without using public phone lines to send or receive documents scanned by the machine
via e-mail as attached documents.
As the iFax feature transmits data via an existing intranet and the Internet,
communication charges are less than for sending regular faxes. Also, communication
with regular fax machines that do not support the iFax feature is possible via a fax
gateway.
For more information on the fax gateway feature, refer to "Sending an iFax to normal fax machines via a
relay station" (P.115).
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.
