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 8-4 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 8 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.
