7.When the e-mail is ready, the user touches Send on the device control panel. The device scans the job.

8.When scanning is complete, the device uses image processing on the job and saves the resulting file(s) to disk.

9.The device sends all of the addressing information that the user provided in step 4 to DSS, followed by the image-file attachment(s).

10.The DSS e-mail task opens up a session with the SMTP server.

11.The SMTP headers are sent to the server with e-mail aliases, and the subject is MIME encoded.

12.The localized body text is MIME encoded and sent.

13.The file attachment(s) are MIME encoded and sent.

14.DSS closes the SMTP session.

15.DSS logs the results to the DSS device log.

16.DSS deletes all files on the disk that pertain to the job.

Secure channel e-mail

E-mail jobs that are routed through DSS for delivery to the SMTP gateway can be sent on a secure channel. This is accomplished by sending the SMTP communication over SSL. Using the SSL option encrypts the segments of the network connections, thus providing point-to-point security between DSS and the SMTP server. A public key certificate is required to use SMTP over SSL.

Send to Fax

This section contains the following topics:

●LAN fax

●Internet fax

DSS can be configured to support three different methods of faxing. Only one method can be selected for any given DSS installation.

●Internet fax: An Internet fax provider can be used to process faxes. These providers use e-mail messages as a submittal mechanism and deliver them either to a traditional fax machine or reroute them to an individual e-mail inbox. This service supports .TIFF and .MTIFF files.

●LAN fax: Requires a LAN fax product and a shared folder for the fax work area. This service supports .MTIFF, PCL 5 uncompressed, and PCL 5 packbits files.

●Analog fax: If devices on the network support analog faxing, you can choose to use that capability rather than DSS to send faxes. Use the Configuration Utility to configure the settings for this option.

Users can specify fax destinations at the device control panel by using the device keyboard to type fax numbers, by selecting speed-dial numbers, or by selecting fax numbers from an address book.
