Receiving a Document via Internet Fax
Internet Fax (I-fax) is a function that enables you to send and receive images via internet and not a telephone line.
Benefits from Using the I-Fax
Reduce transmission cost
G3 FAX transmission cost increases with transmission time and distance. If a line with fixed rate is installed, you can control the transmission cost because the cost of I-fax is fixed regardless of the transmission time and distance. It is recommended that you use this when sending and receiving documents with large number of pages.
High resolution transmission
You can receive at a resolution of up to 600 dpi. (for Full mode)
