E-mail / IFAX (For MFC models) (Available when IFAX is downloaded)

These settings have six selections: Mail Address, Setup Server, Setup Mail RX, Setup Mail TX, Setup Relay and Manual POP3 Receive. As this section requires you to enter a lot of text characters, you may find that it is more convenient to use Web Based Management and your favorite web browser (see Web Based Management on page 46). The settings must be configured for the IFAX feature to work. (For more details about Internet fax, see Internet fax (For MFC models) (Available as a download) on page 59.)
