Addressing - Public Address Book
If a site does not have an LDAP server to provide access to a corporate address list, the machine will
accept a Public Address Book file that contains a list of user names and their e-mail/internet fax
addresses. This file must be in a CSV (Comma Separated Values) format for the machine to be able to
read the file contents. The machine can have access to both an LDAP server and a public address book. If
both are configured the user will be presented with the choice to use either address book to select Internet
Fax recipients.
The majority of word processing or spreadsheet packages will allow you to create a CSV file. A selection of
E-mail applications will also allow you to export a list of users in the CSV file format. There are also several
conversion packages available on the web.
Create a Public Address Book
1.
Open an application that supports CSV files (for example, Microsoft Excel).
2.
Create a list of addresses with the following headings: name and address.
For example:
The following are both valid format CSV file entries:
Smith, [email protected] and "Smith, John"; [email protected].
The order in which entries are displayed in the Public Address Book at the machine will depend on
how the entries are sorted in the CSV file.
3.
Save the file as a CSV (comma delimited) file with the extension .csv.
4.
It is recommended that you keep a copy of the .CSV file once created.
