IP Fax (SIP) Overview
IP Fax (SIP) is a fax feature that sends and receives document data via the IP network
of a corporation (the intranet). The IP Fax (SIP) complies with ITU-T Resolution T.38.
Because the IP Fax (SIP) uses the existing IP network for communications, you can
reduce the telecommunications costs compared to a conventional G3 fax machine that
uses the public telephone line.
Note • The communication between IP Fax (SIP) machines is available only between the machines
that support the IP Fax (SIP) feature (except for Able 1407
λ). An "IP Fax (SIP) machine" in
this guide refers to the IP Fax (SIP) -enabled machine manufactured by Fuji Xerox.
