T The mail server receives the fax. T This machine downloads the fax from the mail server. T This machine prints the received fax. NOTE When Direct SMTP is used, communication does not go through a mail server, and thus your machine directly receives and prints a document sent from another fax machine. Notes on Using i-FAX • To use i-FAX, you must connect this machine to a computer using a network cable and specify the network settings. Refer to i-FAX Settings on page 8-5 for details. • If you cannot successfully send an i-FAX to the recipient, you normally receive an E-mail error message from the server. However, in some cases problems can arise such that you do not receive the error message. For important faxes, you should contact the recipient to check whether the fax was successfully received. • Due to the low level of security in Internet communication, important documents should be faxed over a direct telephone line. • Communication over the Internet may take some time due to network congestion or communication faults. Urgent faxes should be sent over a direct telephone line. • Because Internet faxing sends the faxed originals as files attached to an E-mail message, you cannot communicate directly with the recipient. • You cannot have a telephone conversation via the Internet. • The resolution, compression mode and paper sizes that you can use for transmissions are dependent on the performance of the receiving machine. Check the specifications of the receiving machine before sending the fax. If you do not know the specifications of the receiving machine, the recommended transmission settings are a resolution of 200 × 200 dpi, the MH compression mode and a paper size of A4. • If only Direct SMTP, which does not go through a mail server, will be used, the SMTP settings / POP3 server settings in the i-FAX settings are not necessary. Functions not available when sending an i-FAX The following functions are not available when sending an i-FAX. They are available when sending a normal fax. • Delayed transmission • Encrypted transmission • Direct transmission • Sub address transmission • Polling transmission • Send restriction by registering permitted FAX numbers • Transmission using ECM communication • Send restriction by registering permitted ID numbers 8-3

i-FAX Reception Flowchart
The procedure for receiving an i-FAX is shown below.
Notes on Using i-FAX
To use i-FAX, you must connect this machine to a computer using a network cable and specify the network settings.
Refer to
i-FAX Settings on page 8-5
for details.
If you cannot successfully send an i-FAX to the recipient, you normally receive an E-mail error message from the
server. However, in some cases problems can arise such that you do not receive the error message. For important
faxes, you should contact the recipient to check whether the fax was successfully received.
Due to the low level of security in Internet communication, important documents should be faxed over a direct
telephone line.
Communication over the Internet may take some time due to network congestion or communication faults. Urgent
faxes should be sent over a direct telephone line.
Because Internet faxing sends the faxed originals as files attached to an E-mail message, you cannot communicate
directly with the recipient.
You cannot have a telephone conversation via the Internet.
The resolution, compression mode and paper sizes that you can use for transmissions are dependent on the
performance of the receiving machine. Check the specifications of the receiving machine before sending the fax. If
you do not know the specifications of the receiving machine, the recommended transmission settings are a resolution
of 200 × 200 dpi, the MH compression mode and a paper size of A4.
If only Direct SMTP, which does not go through a mail server, will be used, the SMTP settings / POP3 server settings
in the i-FAX settings are not necessary.
