You can store an e-mail address obtained by searching the directory listings on the network using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers.
You can also register e-mail addresses you obtain as I-fax addresses.
NOTE
|
You may have to set up the LDAP servers beforehand, depending on the network environment. For more information, see "Registering an LDAP Server."
|
IMPORTANT
|
You cannot search for a destination via an LDAP server if the time setting of the server and the time setting of the machine are more than five minutes apart. If you cannot send even when the user name and password are correct, check the time settings on the server and the machine.
The number of search results displayed will not exceed the maximum limit set in [Register from LDAP Server] in [Set Destination] (Settings/Registration). If the desired destination is not displayed, either increase the <Max Addresses to Search>, or change the search criteria. (See "Registering an LDAP Server.")
|
NOTE
|
If multiple LDAP servers are registered and [Auto Search When Using LDAP Server] is set to 'On' in [Set Destination] (Settings/Registration), the first registered server displayed on the drop-down list is searched.
|
NOTE
|
If you perform a new destination search when a search result is already displayed on the destination list screen, the displayed search result is cleared.
If you press [ALL] when a search result for specified criteria is already displayed, the search result is cleared and a search for all criteria is processed.
If you set [Auto Search When Using LDAP Server] to 'Off', nothing appears on the destination list screen until you perform a search.
If a search result from [Search by Conditions] is displayed on the search list screen, you cannot press [Search by Name] to further narrow the search.
If a destination is registered with an e-mail address and a fax number, you can search for the e-mail address by entering the fax number as the search criterion, and vice versa.
