Using Internet Fax (I-Fax)
| | Internet Fax (I-Fax) is a function for sending and receiving faxes via the Internet. This lets you send a fax without using a phone line to lower communication costs. When you receive an I-Fax, the received data is printed automatically. The machines for sending and receiving I-Faxes must support I-Fax technology. |

When a Sending Error OccursDepending on the e-mail server settings, a notification e-mail may be sent to the e-mail address set on the machine when a sending error occurs. If notification e-mails are left in the server, the mailbox may become full, so it is recommended to periodically empty the mailbox. Clearing the Mail Box |
Receiving I-Faxes
When there is an I-Fax, it is automatically received from the set mail server and then it is printed automatically once receiving is completed.
