Introduction to Using I-Fax Functions

Internet faxing (I-fax) enables you to send and receive fax documents over the network. Scanned documents are converted to TIFF format and are transmitted as an e-mail attachment to the recipient's I-fax compatible machine. For I-fax functions, enter the recipient's e-mail address instead of the fax number.
This section describes the things that you must do before using I-fax functions.
Be sure to set the following items first:

  • Your personal name or company name

Register your name or company name. (See "Registering the Machine's Name (Fax).")

  • Time and date

Set the current time and date. (See "Setting the Date and Time.")

  • Network settings

Set the network settings to enable your machine to communicate over the network. (See "Basic Network Settings.")

  • E-mail settings

Set the e-mail settings to enable your machine to communicate with a mail server. (See "Setting Scan to E-Mail and I-fax.")


Remark
  • An I-fax can only be sent to machines that can receive faxes through the Internet.
