Flow of Sending Operations

This section describes the basic flow of sending operations.

The following types of sending methods are available for the Scan and Send functions. For instructions on sending a fax, see "Sending a Fax."

Sending an E-Mail Message

You can scan a document and send it as an attached file in an e-mail message. You can send the scanned document as a JPEG, TIFF, PDF, XPS, OOXML(pptx, docx) file.

Sending an I-Fax

You can scan a document and send it to a destination via the Internet as an I-fax. There are two types of I-Fax, "Internet Fax" and "Intranet Fax." "Internet Fax" can send documents via a mail server to addresses over the internet. "Intranet Fax" does not pass through a mail server but can send documents directly.

Regardless of the distance and area, I-fax helps you to reduce transmission costs by making transactions via the Internet. You can also specify the scan settings and the settings at the destination when using I-fax.

Sending a Job to a File Server/Advanced Box

You can send scanned images to computers (file servers) and the Advanced Box of another imageRUNNER ADVANCE series machine opened as an SMB server or WebDAV server on the network.

Sending a Job to a Mail Box

You can scan a document and store it in a mail box. If you include a mail box as one of the destinations to which you are sending your document, the document is stored in the selected mail box for later use. Documents stored in a mail box can be printed and sent to other destinations.

IMPORTANT
The send settings for the last send job may be retained. To cancel the settings, press (Reset). The specified destinations are not retained.

(See "Restricting Sending to New Addresses.")

NOTE

The machine automatically detects the size of the original. A screen to enter the user name and password may appear when you try to send to an e-mail or I-fax address, depending on the e-mail/I-fax settings. If the screen appears, enter the user name and password registered in SMTP Authentication. (See "Common Communication Settings for E-Mail/I-Fax.") If you try to send to a file server in which [Confirm Before Sending] is set to 'On', a screen appears prompting you to enter a user name and password. In this case, enter the file server password. If you want to register a file server in a group address, set [Confirm Before Sending] to 'Off'. You cannot send to a group address including a file server in which the Enter Password Each Time setting is set to 'On'. (See "Registering a File Server Address.")
