WHAT IS INTERNET FAXING?

Internet-enabled fax machines plug into your existing data network. They convert scanned documents into file formats that are easily transported over the Internet or your company intranet, sending data to E-mail address destinations or other I-fax-capable machines. Internet faxing bypasses the public switched telephone network and offers many advantages for your business:

• Lowers communication costs by eliminating per-call charges for each

transmission—especially for long-distance and international calls.

• Allows for simultaneous and instantaneous distribution of informa-

tion to all recipients. Data is transmitted to all recipients at once,

at the maximum speed of your network—not the telephone line—

eliminating delays associated with sequential broadcast technology.

• Maintains image quality and document integrity through end-to-end

digital transmission. Your faxes are impervious to distortion from

static and line noise, so resolution is never compromised.

• Increases productivity by eliminating busy signals and rescanning

tasks—every fax gets through the first time, every time.

The Canon LASER CLASS 700 Series utilizes the ITU-T.37 standard for Internet Fax transmissions. Similar to the standards for corporate E-mail systems, this makes I-fax technology easy to use and instantly familiar to your employees. The T.37 “store and forward” process

The LASER CLASS 710 shown here with standard 250-sheet front-loading, user- adjustable paper cassettes, is comple- mented by a 100-sheet MultiPurpose Tray. Add an optional

500-sheet cassette for maximum printing productivity.

The installation of Printer Kit III and Network Kit III enable the Internet Fax function. These boards are standard on the LASER CLASS 730i/720i and optional on the LASER CLASS 710.

relays a fax transmission from an originating device to an IP fax gate- way. The data is then sent to a receiving device, either another I-fax unit or your PC’s E-mail inbox through mail servers. Store and forward Internet faxing works essentially the same as sending an E-mail with an attachment. From a user’s perspective, it is little different from traditional G3 fax technology. The G3 format is replaced as a PDF or M-TIFF file that is basically a snapshot of the original document.

The file is then sent using network data lines. Because the Canon LASER CLASS 700 Series offers both I-fax and Super G3 sending, total communications flexibility is at your fingertips, allowing you to:

•Send a fax to an E-mail address

•Receive E-mail from an E-mail address

•Receive a G3 fax and forward it to E-mail

•Receive an I-fax and forward it to a G3 fax

•Scan images to E-mail
