Accessing the Fax Function of a Server Machine

Client machines without the Fax function can use the Fax function of a server machine (another imageRUNNER ADVANCE machine) on the same network.
Benefits of Using the Fax Function of a Server Machine
By sharing the Fax function of a single machine with multiple machines, you can avoid the cost of fitting multiple machines with the Fax function.
Required Condition
[Dedicated Port Settings] (Preferences) is set to 'On' for the server machine.
The Remote Fax Kit is activated for the server machine.
Both the server and client machines can access the network.
This section describes the procedures for setting the server machine followed by the client machine.
The screens may differ, depending on the model of the machine and on attached optional products.
Follow the procedures below.
