Internet Communication Features
Your machine allows you to transmit documents over the Internet to another Internet Fax or a PC. The
document is first scanned and converted into a TIFF-F or PDF* file, and then transmitted to the remote
location as an attachment file to an email using MIME encoding.
Note:
PDF file is only available if sending the document(s) to a PC.
The email system at the receiving end must support MIME. Otherwise, the attachment file will be detached
and lost.
When you send an email message to someone, your machine uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
to transfer your outgoing mail to your SMTP mail server, which in turn uses SMTP to send your mail to the
Internet.
Internet Fax Delivery Notice (MDN)
If the sender (Internet Fax) desires a processing confirmation, it must request a Message Disposition
Notification when sending the message itself to a device supporting this notification function.
Several email applications such as Eudora and Outlook Express support and are able to respond to the
delivery confirmation notification sent from the Internet Fax. As well as send a request for notification to the
Internet Fax by email applications that support MDN (Message Disposition Notification) function.
For additional details on MDN, consult a suitable reference such as the Help file and the User's Guide of
each respective email application.
