files, but different file extensions. The extension for the first notification file (the first fax number dialed) is .000, and for the second notification file (the second fax number dialed) is .001, the third notification file is .002, and so on.

DSS periodically looks in the shared fax folder for notification files. If it finds a file, DSS pulls it from the shared fax folder. Using the information that is stored in the DSS log, the DSS server sends the authenticated user an e-mail notification or prints a notification report at the device from which the fax was sent.

Configuring LAN fax notification

If the LAN fax product being used supports notification, a Notify button appears on the device control-panel fax home screen when the user is preparing to send the fax. The user touches this button to select the type of notification and to select whether a notification is generated for every fax sent or only when an error occurs.

Timeout

The notification timeout is the length of time that DSS waits before reporting a failed fax delivery. The default timeout value is two hours.

Send to Folder lets you send a document to one or more shared folders. You can select from a list of pre-defined folders or, if authenticated, can specify a destination from the control panel.

Users can send documents directly to any folder on the network. Supported operating systems for folder destinations are CIFS/SMB-compliant file systems. Users can either select from a list of folders on the control-panel interface or type their own folder path.
