Sending E-Mail
"I want to send colour documents, but I am using a black-and-white fax machine."
"I am sending paper documents from a computer via e-mail. It is too much trouble to use a personal scanner each time."
Have you ever had such problems?
Using the Scan and Send function of your imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine, you can send colour documents from a computer via e-mail, with a simple operation similar to sending a fax.
|
NOTE
|
|
imageRUNNER ADVANCE machines do not support e-mail reception.

Features of Sending Documents by E-Mail
imageRUNNER ADVANCE machines can send high-quality colour data.
The machine generates PDF data with fine text and image areas processed and compressed separately.
This enables clear text and a compact size, even though the data is in colour.
Benefits of Sending Documents by E-Mail
You can send images including fine lines, such as CAD data and maps, sharply and cleanly.
Since e-mail uses an internet or intranet environment, you can reduce communication costs*, regardless of the time or distance. (*: When using an in-company LAN or fixed rate connection service, and in comparison to variable cost systems such as for fax communication.)
The e-mail sending function can be used without requiring other hardware or software, as long as you have an internet connection.
The system for sending e-mail is the same for computers and imageRUNNER ADVANCE machines.

Steps for Setting Internet Fax Transmission
This section describes the procedure for specifying the internet fax settings.
The screens may differ, depending on the model of the machine and on attached optional products.
Settings/Registration Settings
Registering the Destination's Address
Sending an E-Mail from the imageRUNNER ADVANCE Machine
Settings/Registration Settings
Using the Remote UI, you can perform this operation with ease.
1.
Specify the DNS settings. Click [Settings/Registration] → [Network Settings] → [IPv4 Settings].
|
Primary DNS Server Address, Secondary DNS Server Address:
|
Enter the IP address of the primary server and secondary server.
|
|
Host Name:
|
Enter a name of your choice. This is equivalent to the computer name of a computer.
|
|
Domain Name:
|
Enter the name of the network domain that the imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine belongs to. (The part of the e-mail address after the "@.")
|
|
Perform DNS Dynamic Update
|
Select this if you have a dynamic DNS server.
Deselect this if you do not have a dynamic DNS server. |
|
NOTE
|
|
To specify these settings from the control panel of the machine, press
(Settings/Registration) → [Preferences] → [Network] → [TCP/IP Settings] → [DNS Settings].If the continual issuing of packets from the imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine to the DNS server is causing excessive network traffic, you can disable dynamic DNS updating after communication is complete.
However, this is only if you have a server in your company, and your environment is not a DHCP environment (your environment must use a fixed IP address and host names). |
2.
Set the mail server information. Click [Settings/Registration] → [Send] → [Network Settings - E-Mail/I-Fax Settings].
|
SMTP RX:
|
Not required to be set. This setting is for Intranet Fax.
|
|
POP RX:
|
Set this to 'On' for environments sending with POP before SMTP or when using a POP server to receive I-faxes.
|
|
SMTP Server:
|
The IP address or host name of the mail server used for sending.
|
|
E-Mail Address:
|
The e-mail address to set for the imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine.
|
|
POP Server:
|
The IP address or host name of the mail server (POP server) used in environments sending with POP before SMTP.
|
|
POP Login Name
|
The log in name used to access the POP server (the part of the e-mail address before the "@").
|
|
POP Password:
|
The password used to access the POP server.
|
|
Confirm
|
Reenter the POP password for confirmation.
|
|
POP Interval:
|
Set the interval for automatically accessing the POP server to perform POP reception.
(This refers to the interval that the imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine goes to the mail server to check for e-mail.) |
|
NOTE
|
|
To specify these settings from the control panel of the machine, press
(Settings/Registration) → [Functions Settings] → [Send] → [E-Mail/I-Fax] → [Communication Settings].The I-fax function of imageRUNNER ADVANCE machines uses the SMTP protocol for transmission.
|
3.
Specify the transmission authentication method. In Authentication/Encryption Settings, set the transmission authentication method to use according to the agreement with your internet provider or according to the security policy of the DNS/mail server in your company.
|
NOTE
|
|
It is not necessary to specify the settings on this page when accessing a server that does not require transmission authentication.
|
In recent times, internet providers have strengthened security measures using transmission authentication to prevent "spoofing" and the spread of viruses. Transmission authentication methods include "POP before SMTP" and "SMTP AUTH," etc.
Check the agreement you have with your internet provider, and specify these settings according to the transmission authentication method the provider has adopted.
|
Allow SSL (POP):
|
Select this to use SSL for POP communication. Select the POP authentication method from the drop-down list, according to your internet provider.

|
Select this to enter the authentication information each time sending is performed.
|
|
Confirm SSL Certificate for SMTP TX:
|
Select this to confirm whether the SSL server certificate is valid when sending with SMTP. Select [Add CN to Verification Items] if you want to confirm the CN (Common Name).
|
|
Allow SSL (SMTP Receive):
|
Set this to 'On' for mail server environments that require communicated data to be encrypted.
|
*: If your internet provider is using the "POP before SMTP" transmission authentication system, this setting is required.
**: If your internet provider is using the "SMTP AUTH" transmission authentication system, this setting is required.
|
NOTE
|
|
If the SMTP server does not support encryption, data is not encrypted even when you select [On] for <Allow SSL>.
|
4.
Set the maximum data size. Click [Settings/Registration] → [Send] → [Communication Settings - E-Mail/I-Fax Settings].
|
Maximum Data Size for Sending:
