Internet fax (For MFC models) (Available

as a download)

Internet fax Overview

Internet faxing (IFAX) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has an application that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use any TIFF-F viewer application. Any documents sent via the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and receive messages to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support the MIME format.

Forwarding received E-mail and fax messages

You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to another E-mail address or fax machine. For more information see Forwarding received E-mail and fax messages on page 65.

Relay broadcast

If you want to fax a document long distance (such as abroad), the "relay broadcast" function allows you to save the communication fee. This function allows the Brother machine to receive the document over the Internet, and then relay it to other fax machines through conventional telephone lines. For more information see Relay broadcasting on page 65.
