Internet Fax Protocols
3. Internet Fax Transmission
General Information
To send an Internet Fax message, you need a mail server from
which to send email.
Please consult your network administrator about the settings
listed below, which are required in order to make a connection to
the mail server.
• SMTP Server Address / Name
• DNS Server’s IP Address
• Email Address
These settings are similar to those of popular mail clients such as
Netscape Messenger, Outlook and Eudora.
You can start transmission when these settings have been config-
ured.
To send a fax, place a document on the machine and press the
one-touch button on which the email address of the recipient has
been registered; the document will be scanned into memory, con-
verted into a TIFF file and sent to the recipient.
SMTP Server Address / Name
1. Enter the SMTP server name or IP Address. If entering the
server’s IP Address, be sure to type the dots (full-stops)
dividing the numbers. Example: 192.168.1.1
2. You may enter a server name only if a DNS server has been
configured.
DNS Server’s IP ADDRESS
This setting is not required if the SMTP server has been specified
by its IP ADDRESS. A DNS server can convert a server name
into an IP ADDRESS.
Email Address
Enter the email address assigned to this machine.
