Internet Fax Features
Internet Fax allows a copy of a scanned document to be sent as an e-mail with an attached TIFF-FX (Profile S) file. Since
an Internet line is used instead of a phone line, the communication costs can be dramatically reduced.
With Internet Fax, an e-mail address is to be specified in place of a phone number to transmit a copy of a scanned
document to the Internet Fax equipment or the client computers.
When an Internet Fax is received, it is automatically output just like a traditional fax.
Internet faxing requires the network settings configured by the network administrator. Consult your network
administrator for help.
