Internet Fax Overview
When the Fax feature is available and the machine is equipped with the Internet Fax
Kit (optional), the machine can transmit scanned data as an e-mail attachment using a
corporate intranet or the Internet, unlike conventional fax machines which use public
phone lines. Also, the machine can receive e-mails transmitted from the Internet Fax-
enabled machines.
For details of the Internet Fax, refer to "4 Fax" > "About Internet Fax" in the User Guide.
