Precautions for Internet Fax Transmissions
Internet Fax works just like e-mail and may cause the same kinds of troubles as E-mail unless you
understand how it works. Before you start using the Internet Fax feature, carefully read and familiarize
yourself with the following precautions:
Internet Fax sends a copy of a document to your E-mail server, not via the PSTN* as with a
traditional fax. The data is then sent from the server to the Internet. Unlike traditional faxing,
Internet faxing does not involve a direct communication with the recipient(s). Transmission is
considered complete when the sent copy of the document reaches your E-mail server.
The security level of Internet transmissions is low. We recommend traditional faxing when sending
confidential documents.
Due to heavy line traffic, Internet transmissions may take a while to arrive.
The configuration of the E-mail server may prevent successful transmission if the data size of the
sent document exceeds set limits.
When you send an Internet fax to multiple recipients, all the recipients’ E-mail addresses are printed
if the header page is set to be printed on the recipients devices. If you need to secure the personal
information, send the Internet fax separately to each recipient rather than sending to multiple
recipients at the same time.
