Server Fax Overview
If your machine supports the scan feature, installing the Server Fax Kit (optional) allows
you to use the fax feature of a Server Fax server.
With this Server Fax feature, you can transfer image data received by the machine to
the Server Fax server, and can transfer image data received by the Server Fax server
to the machine via a network based on the settings you made.
Important •
While the Fax Server feature is enabled, the Fax feature is detected as "not installed" even if
a Fax Kit is installed on the machine. During that time, therefore, fax transmission and
reception are disabled and printed reports show that the machine does not support the Fax
feature.
Note
•
The Server Fax service cannot be used together with the Fax service or the Internet Fax
service.
