Gateway Services (Forwarding)

Faxes to an e-mail Address

Your fax machine can forward incoming faxes from an F-Code fax machine to an e-mail address.

!Important!

Be aware that although your fax has security features (password protection, access restricted to certain domain names), any system is vulnerable to attack. If you set up your fax for this feature, it may be possible for unauthorized faxes to be sent to other machines through your fax machine.

!Relay Print, User Function 27, must be ON for you to use Gateway Services (Forwarding).

The default setting for Relay Print, User Function 27, is OFF, to help protect against unauthorized faxes being sent through your machine.

Procedure

1Create a personal mailbox as a relay mailbox.

2Register a one-touch key, with an e-mail address assigned to it, in the relay mailbox.

Any fax image sent to this Personal Box is then forwarded to the assigned e-mail address.

See the User’s Guide, “Advanced Operations, Confidential Faxes, Programming Personal (Confidential) Mailboxes.”

See the User’s Guide, “Advanced Operations, Relay Faxing.”

How it works

1An F-Code fax machine sends the fax message to your Internet Fax machine.

2Your Internet Fax machine then converts the message to an e-mail and forwards it to a mail server.

3The mail server then sends the e-mail to a computer or another Internet Fax.

E-mails to a Fax Number

Your machine can forward images received via e-mail to another fax machine.

Your fax machine uses SMTP reception to do this.

This function is not supported for POP.

Use the format FAX=[telephone number}@{domain name} to indicate the forwarding number.
