Authentication Method
Department ID Authentication
To make use of department ID authentication on the remote fax machine, you must register
the same ID and password on both the remote fax machine and the fax server.
If this condition is not satisfied, it will result in remote fax transmission errors.
If you are using SSO-H and department ID authentication concurrently, it is decided whether
or not to allow transmission by department ID authentication.
Incoming Fax Procedure (iFAX)
Once a fax is received by the fax server from the phone line, it can be forwarded to a
separate iR unit, using the iFAX function.
Configure the receiving/forwarding settings on the fax server.
To return confirmation of sending when using MDN, the SMTP settings must be configured on
the separate iR unit as well.

When sending by iFAX, the number of simultaneous connections allowed is 5 sessions.
Successive jobs are put in queue.
Broadcast Sending
When sending by iFax , a maximum of 256 destinations can be specified at one time.
The image for each destination differs, because an iFAX header with an abbreviated
destination name is included in each sent image.
As a result, the data is created and sent separately to each destination.
When multiple destinations are specified for broadcast sending, therefore, an equal number
of transmissions are performed.
Cancel Sending (when iFAXed by receive/forward from the fax
machine)
When the data is actually sent over the network, a #99 (STOP) code is written to the log.
If there are multiple unsent destinations, the first destination is recorded as #995 (Broadcast
Sending Cancel), and the remaining unsent destinations are not written to the log.
Retry Sending
If sending fails, you can retry sending to that destination.
The maximum number of retries can be set from 0 to 5 under [Number of sending retries] in
the user mode. (The default value is 3.)
The interval between retries is fixed at 30 seconds. The number of retries and the retry
interval can be used in conjunction with other sending components.
If an address error (#550) is detected while connecting, sending is not retried. Images are not
resent (retried) in Full Mode if the delivery confirmation results (MDN) report an error from the
receiving machine.
Holding Send Requests
When several faxes are sent simultaneously via I-Fax, the status of the 5th job becomes
“sending”.
The status of the 6th job becomes “waiting”.
For example, if the settings have been configured so that an error is generated when a fax is
sent via I-Fax, the status of the 6th job becomes “waiting” when 6 jobs are input continuously
during sending retry.
“Sending” and “waiting” are displayed on the job status screen.
