With this feature, the machine first sends a document to an iFax-compatible machine
(fax gateway) by e-mail via the Internet. The e-mail document is then converted to a fax
document on the iFax-compatible machine, and is forwarded to its destinations. The fax
transmission costs can be reduced by locating the fax gateway and fax machines within
an area where the same local rate applies.
Important • This feature is available only when the e-mail reception method on the fax gateway is set to
SMTP.
Note
• The e-mail received by the fax gateway is deleted even if the fax was not correctly sent.
• The settings configured in [Communication Mode] of the [Transmission Options] screen
apply to the communication mode used between the fax gateway and the fax machine.
• Fax forwarding can be restricted by setting [Fax Transfer from Address Book] and [Fax
Transfer Maximum Data Size] in the system setting.

• If the hard disk of the machine becomes full during scanning of a document, a screen
appears to prompt you to select whether to send the job up to the stored pages or to cancel
the job. Choose one of the processes.
• If the hard disk of the machine becomes full during iFax transmission, the transmission is
cancelled and the document data is deleted.
Forwarding Documents Stored in a Mailbox
The following describes the feature to automatically forward fax documents stored in a
mailbox, as e-mail attachment.
Fax documents sent to mailboxes using the fax signal method (proprietary
communication procedures), F Code method or DTMF method, and fax documents
stored in mailboxes by the Box Selector feature can be forwarded as e-mail
attachments.
Important • This feature can only be used when the mail receiving protocol is SMTP.
For information on the mailbox forwarding settings, sending to mailboxes, using the Box Selector to
receive documents in a mailbox, and printing or deleting documents received in a mailbox, refer to
"Printing/Deleting Documents in the Mailbox" (P.91).
