Automatically Forwarding Received Faxes
You can set the machine to automatically forward a received fax to another destination, such as an employee at another branch.
Benefits of Automatic Forwarding
Avoid wasting the time required to transmit information while reducing the possibility of human error. Sending an e-mail notification at the time of forwarding is an effective way to ensure that the forwarded document is viewed at its destination.
