Internet Faxing (i-FAX)
8-2 OPERATION GUIDE
What is i-FAX?
The i-FAX function sends and receives faxes via the Internet without using
a phone line.
The sending machine sends the scanned fax original to the recipient’s E-
mail address as an E-mail attachment. The receiving machine receives the
original from the mail server and prints the fax file.
The main features of i-FAX are:
• It reduces communication costs since it does not use a phone line.
• Address books (on this machine or on a computer) can be used to
specify destinations.
• Faxes can be sent to multiple recipients simultaneously.
• Memory forwarding (refer to page 4-16) can be used to forward faxes
received by this machine to multiple recipients as Internet faxes.
• E-mail notification of transmission results
