Sending Internet Fax to regular fax machines via a relay station
By specifying e-mail addresses in a specific format, you can send a document to
regular fax machines (that do not support the Internet Fax service) via a network.
This feature enables the machine to first send a document to an Internet Fax-
compatible machine (fax gateway) by e-mail via the Internet. The e-mail document is
then converted to a fax document on the Internet Fax-compatible machine, and is
forwarded to its destinations. If you locate the fax gateway and regular fax machines
within an area where the same local rate applies, the fax transmission costs can be
reduced.
Important • This feature is available only when the fax gateway can receive e-mail via SMTP.
Note • The e-mail received by the fax gateway is deleted even if the fax was not correctly sent.
• The setting specified in [Starting Rate] on the [Fax/Internet Fax Options] screen is used as
the communication mode from the fax gateway to the destination fax machine.
• You can restrict fax forwarding in [Fax Transfer from Address Book] and [Fax Transfer
Maximum Data Size] in the System Administration mode.
1 Select [Internet Fax].
2 Select any option.
3 Enter the e-mail address of the receiving machine in the following format:
FAX= 0312345678 /T33S=123 @myhost. example.com
Example Fax number.................................................. 0312345678
F code (if necessary).................................... /T33S=123
Host name of the receiving machine............ myhost
Domain name of the receiving machine....... example.com
Important • If the hard disk of the machine becomes full during Internet Fax transmission, the
transmission is canceled and the document data is deleted.
Note • 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. Select one of the processes.
Forwarding Files Stored in a Folder
You can automatically forward faxes stored in a folder, as e-mail attachments.
Faxes sent to folders using the fax signal method (proprietary communication
procedures), F Code method, or DTMF method, and faxes stored in folders by the
Folder Selector feature can be forwarded as e-mail attachments.
Important • This feature is available only when the mail receiving protocol is SMTP.
For information on how to forward files in a folder, send files to a folder, use the Folder Selector to
receive files in a folder, and print or delete files received in a folder, refer to "Checking/Operating Files
in a Folder" (P.329).
For information on how to set the Folder Selector feature, refer to "5 Tools" > "Fax Service Settings" >
"Fax Received Options" in the Administrator Guide.
