About Sending a Fax as E-mail

You can send fax files and attachments to a recipient’s e-mail address rather than to a fax number. When fax files are sent by e-mail, they arrive as TIFF file attachments to the e-mail message. The recipient can then view the TIFF files with an e-mail utility or an external image viewing application. The e-mail message to which the TIFF files are attached includes a URL to a web page that instructs the recipient how to configure the e-mail application to view the TIFF file attachments.

Most of the steps for sending fax files to an e-mail address are the same as for sending fax files to a fax number. The main difference is that you choose E-mail from the Send As options. You must specify a valid e-mail address for the recipient. Fax files that you have sent to an e-mail address appear in Status Manager as job type E-mail.

If you are sending a fax to more than one recipient, choose E-mail from the Send As options. The application sends the selected files to the e-mail address of each person in the recipient list. If you have not provided an

e-mail address for a recipient, the fax job to that recipient is not sent.
