Internet Fax Overview
When the fax feature is enabled and equipped with an optional Internet Fax Kit, the
machine can transmit scanned data as an e-mail attachment using either corporate
networks or the Internet, unlike conventional fax machines which utilize public phone
lines. Also, the machine can receive e-mails transmitted from machines which support
the Internet Fax service.
Refer to "4 Fax" > "About Internet Fax" in the User Guide for details of the Internet Fax.
