Important Information 01006000001 The DX-1000 uses the same communication protocols as email: the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The differences from a standard G3 fax communication using the Public Telephone Network (PSTN) are as follows. 01006030001 Differences between Internet Fax and Regular Fax 01006020001 A regular Fax machine goes off-hook, dials, and the phone network completes a circuit over phone lines to the receiving fax. You pay for the circuit. The two faxes negotiate a connection, synchronize and exchange image data. The Internet Fax works like an email, the image data is broken down into packets and transmitted through your Local Area Network (LAN) to the Internet or Intranet instead of using a telephone company's network, thus saving you long distance costs. 01006050001 Transmitted Document Confirmation 01006020008 1. The DX-1000 does not directly connect to the final destination, but rather connects to a Mail Server via LAN. Therefore, if a document cannot be correctly transmitted due to an error, the erroneous mail may be returned from the Mail Server to the DX-1000. 01006050016 2. The erroneous mail may take a long time to return (20 to 30 minutes) depending on the destination location, traffic on the network or LAN system configuration. 01006050017 3. Depending on the Mail Server, it is also possible that erroneous mail is not returned at all. Therefore, when transmitting important or time sensitive documents, it is recommended that you follow up with a telephone call to confirm reception. 01006050018 4. Documents cannot be transmitted correctly if the destination Mail Server does not conform to the MIME protocol. Erroneous mail may not be returned depending on the Mail Server. 01006050019 DX-1000 Cannot Make a Phone Call via LAN 01006020002 1. The DX-1000 can only make a phone call using a regular telephone line (PSTN). 01006050005 2. During LAN communication, telephone or fax communication through PSTN is not available. 01006050006 Transmission Resolution 01006020003 In view of PC transmission, the factory default setting for the resolution is set to FINE mode. If required, this setting can be changed to Normal. 01006050007 Internet Mail Reception 01006020004 1. The DX-1000 can receive text email from a PC and print ANSI characters. It will print a "J" symbol if an unrecognized character is received. 01006050008 01006050009 2. Received email font and character size are fixed and cannot be changed. 3. Text email will be printed at about 72 lines per page. It is recommended that you use A4/Letter size recording paper. 01006050010 4. If the received text email includes a file attachment in a format other than TIFF-F, such as Word, Excel, Power Point, the DX-1000 prints an error message instead. 01006050011 5. If the received email includes attached TIFF-F formatted image files, the text and TIFF-F formatted image file will be printed on separate pages. 01006050012 22
