Super G3 Fax Board and Multi Line Fax Board

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems that support Super G3 fax capabilities with the optional Super G3 Fax Board installed can be connected to the Public Switched Telephone Network for sending and receiving of fax data. In order to maintain the security of customer’s networks in relation to this potential interface, Canon has designed its Super G3 Fax Boards to function in accordance with the following security considerations:

Super G3 Fax Board Communication Mechanism

The modem on the Super G3 Fax Boards does not have Data Modem capability, but only Fax Modem capability. As a result, TCP/IP communication through the phone line is impossible. In addition, there is no functional module such as a Remote Access Service that enables communication between a phone line and a network connection within the device.

Fax Transmission

The PC Fax function can fax documents from the PC via Network, using a Fax driver that runs on the PC. However, data transfer from the PC via Network to the device and data transfer (FAX transmission) from the phone line via the G3 FAX board is structurally separated.

Fax Received

Although a received fax document can be accessed from the network through the Confidential Fax Mail Box function inherent in the device or automatically forwarded to a network, it is not possible to breach the network in either instance as these capabilities are afforded following completion of facsimile communication. Since the data stored in the Confidential Fax Mail Box is in a format proprietary to Canon, there is no threat of virus infection. Even if the device receives a data file pretending to be a FAX image data but contains a virus, the received data must be decoded first. While trying to decode the virus the phone line will be disconnected with a decode error and the received data will be discarded. The Super G3 Fax Boards cannot receive data files, but are only capable of receiving and decoding facsimile transmissions.

As a result, virus-laden files sent to an imageRUNNER ADVANCE system via its phone line connection cannot be processed.

Fax Polling

Fax Polling is the only function that enables users to handle documents stored in a polling box. Any action associated with these documents stored in a polling box is performed using G3 Fax protocols, which provide no means of accessing a local network.

Other Fax Features

Fax Forwarding / Mailbox Fax Forwarding

The Fax Forwarding function allows imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems equipped with a fax board to forward inbound fax transmissions to specific recipients. This is done by setting predetermined conditions or storing faxes in a secure Memory Reception Inbox for later printing rather than permitting incoming messages to pile up in an open output tray.
