Using Internet Faxes (I-Fax)

Internet fax (I-fax) is a function to send and receive faxes via the Internet. Scanned documents are converted into TIFF format image and are sent as e-mail attachments. Even if you are sending to a distant place or you have lots of documents to send, you do not have to worry about transmission costs because telephone lines are not used. With this function, you can also send and receive I-faxes between devices in the same network using an office LAN.
