Using the Broadcast Send feature
You can send an Internet fax to multiple destinations by specifying multiple e-mail
addresses. Also, you can mix regular fax recipients and Internet Fax recipients to send a
broadcast transmission for fax and Internet Fax.
Note • Up to three broadcast transmissions can be performed. The subsequent jobs will be sent in the
sequential order after the former jobs are finished.
For information on how to specify recipients, refer to "Step 3 Specifying Destinations" (P.189) and "Specifying a Destination
Using the Address Book" (P.218).
Forwarding files stored in folders
By enabling the forwarding feature and registering a forwarding e-mail address for a folder
in advance, the faxes stored in the folder are automatically forwarded to the specified
computer, as e-mail attachments. The user, therefore, does not need to walk up to the
machine to pick up the faxes.
For more information, refer to "Forwarding Files Stored in a Folder" (P.204).
Sending Internet Fax to regular fax machines via a relay station
By specifying e-mail addresses in a specific format, you can send faxes from a machine on
the network via an Internet Fax-compatible machine (fax gateway) to fax machines that do
not support the Internet Fax service.
Important • This feature is available only when the e-mail reception method on the fax gateway is set to SMTP.
For information on the fax gateway feature, refer to "Sending Internet Fax to regular fax machines via a relay station"
(P.203).
Precautions when sending Internet Fax
The message "Files Sent" displayed on the [Job Status] screen of the machine, the Job
History Report, and a Transmission Report indicates that the transmission to the SMTP
server configured on the machine has been successful. The Internet Fax transmission to the
recipient may not complete if there is a problem on the Internet. In such case, the machine
will not be notified of such transmission error. After sending an important e-mail, we suggest
that you confirm it is received, such as by calling the recipient.
You can receive an e-mail of the transmission result if you set Read Receipts and Delivery Receipt when transmitting. For
more information, refer to "Acknowledgement Report (Confirming Transmission Results)" (P.241).
Receiving Internet Fax (Printing Internet Fax)
The machine automatically prints Internet Fax documents that are sent by e-mail from an
Internet Fax-compatible machine.
Note • The following TIFF file formats and profiles are available for e-mail reception.
File format: TIFF-FX (RFC2301) Profile: TIFF-S, TIFF-F, TIFF-J, and TIFF-C. If an unsupported profile is
received, the machine may not be able to print the file. For more information, refer to "Receiving
Internet Fax" (P.201).
Restrictions on the E-mail Server
Depending on the system environment, such as restrictions on the e-mail server, large-size
e-mails cannot be sent or received. Before you set the data-split feature, therefore, check the
system environments of the sending and receiving ends.
If data is split into multiple data but each data size is still too large, change the image
quality or resolution of each data to make its size even smaller.
Features Unavailable for Sending Internet Fax
The following features are available for regular fax transmission, but are not available for
