Important information on Internet Fax
Internet Fax Communication on a LAN system is basically the same as
communication via E-mail; however, it is different from Fax communication
using standard phone lines. The following is important information for using
Internet Fax:
•
Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN system, and
how busy the circuit (such as the internet) is, may cause the system to take a
long time to send back an error mail. (normally 20 sec to 30 sec).
•
In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of
security, we recommend that you use standard phone lines to send
confidential documents.
•
If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you
cannot transmit a document to the receiver. Depending on receiver’s server,
there may be some cases in which the error mail will not be sent back.
•
If the size of a document’s image data is huge, there is a possibility of
unsuccessful transmission.
•
You cannot change font and character size of Internet mail that you received.
