Points to Note When Sending E-mails
Security Issues
E-mails are sent via the Internet, connecting computers from all
over the world. As a result, caution must be made relating to
security issues such that information is not easily seen or altered by
third parties.
Therefore, we recommend that you use methods to ensure that
important information is secured. You are also advised not to reveal
the e-mail address of this printer to third parties to avoid receiving
spam.
Caution on Connecting This Printer to Internet Provider
and Using E-mail Features
•
In the case where a flat-rate contract with the Internet
provider exists and the user is not always connected to the
network, a telephone charge will be incurred every time this
printer retrieves data regularly from the mail server.
•
Connect the printer to an IP private address. Functionality of
this printer is not guaranteed when it is assigned public IP
addresses.
•
When receiving e-mails via POP, always apply an exclusive e-
mail account for the printer. Using a common e-mail account
shared with other users will result in errors.
•
When the internet connection speed is slow, it takes time to
receive huge data such as image data.
•
There are also providers that allow reception of e-mails via
SMTP. Detailed adjustments with the provider is required for
such cases.
•
When setting up the e-mail configuration in an environment
where MTA support is set up in private segments, match the
operating configuration.
