Internet Faxing (i-FAX) (Option) 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 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. • If you are using a dial-up connection to the Internet and automatic reception is specified on this machine, you may incur telephone charges even when you receive no faxes because the machine uses the phone line for automatic checking. To change the automatic reception settings or the incoming mail checking interval, refer to i-FAX POP3 Settings on page 8-6. • 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 8 transmission settings are a resolution of 200 × 200 dpi, the MH compression mode and a paper size of A4. Full Mode This machine supports full-mode Internet faxing that conforms to the ITU-T T.37 recommendations. If the other party's machine also supports full mode, you can use transmission confirmation when you send a fax to check that it successfully reached the recipient's machine. When this machine receives an i-FAX The machine sends reception capacity information in response to a transmission confirmation request from the sender. Information on the resolutions, compression modes and paper sizes supported by this machine is sent to the sender. When this machine sends an i-FAX The machine sends a transmission confirmation to recipients who selected full mode.
