Internet fax and Scan to E-mail (For MFC-6490CW and MFC-6890CDW)

Sending an Internet fax

Sending an Internet fax is the same as sending a normal fax. If you have already programmed the addresses of the destination Internet fax machines as One Touch or Speed-Dial locations, you can send the Internet fax by loading the document into the machine, use the Fax Resolution to set the preferred resolution and select a Speed-Dial number and pressing Black Start or Mono Start.

Manually entering text

(For color LCD models)

Press Shift and 1 simultaneously to change into the "alphabet" dialing mode. You can use the Dial Pad to enter the E-mail address.

(For Touchscreen models)

Press . Press to choose numbers, characters or special characters. For more information, Entering Text on page 179.

As you enter an Internet fax address, the address will appear character by character on the LCD. If you specify more than 22 characters, the LCD will scroll the name to the left character by character. You can enter up to 60 characters.

(For US) Press Black Start to send the document. (For UK) Press Mono Start to send the document.

After the document is scanned, it is transmitted to the recipient Internet fax machine automatically via your

 

SMTP server. You can cancel the send operation by pressing the Stop/Exit button during scanning. After the

11

transmission is finished, the machine will return to standby mode.

Some E-mail servers do not allow you to send large E-mail documents (the System Administrator will often place a limit on the maximum E-mail size). With this function enabled, the machine will display

Out of Memory when trying to send E-mail documents over 1 Mbyte in size. The document will not be sent and an error report will be printed. The document you are sending should be separated into smaller documents that will be accepted by the mail server. (For your information, a 42 page document based on the ITU-T Test Chart #1 test chart is approximately 1 Mbyte in size.)
