The following is important information for using Internet fax:  Factors such as the receiver's location, structure of the LAN system, and how busy the circuit (such as the Internet) is, may cause the system to take a long time to send back an error mail. (normally 20 sec. to 30 sec.).  In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of security, we recommend that you use standard phone lines to send confidential documents.  If the receiver's mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you cannot transmit a document to the receiver. Depending on the receiver's server, there may be some cases in which the error mail will not be sent back.  If the size of a document's image data is too large, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.  You cannot change the font or character size of Internet mail that you received. 2
