CHAPTER 4 INTERNET FAX

TX Verification Mail

Transmission Verification Mail supports two separate functions. Verification Mail for sending allows you request notification from the receiving station that the I-Fax or E-mail was received and processed. Verification Mail for receiving allows you to transmit a default report back to the sending station after successfully receiving and processing an I-Fax or E-mail.

To use this feature you must set the “Notification” option within the “Setup Mail RX” and “Setup Mail TX” options.

Setup Mail (TX)

You can set the “Notification” option in the “Setup Mail TX” option to either ON or OFF. When switched to ON an additional field of information is sent with the image data. This field is named “MDN”.

MDN

Mail Disposition Notification – This field requests the status of the I-Fax / E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (send mail transfer protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the Receiving station this data is used when the MFC or user reads or prints the received I-Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is opened for reading or is printed the receiving station sends back a notification to the original sending machine or user.

The receiving station must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise the request will be ignored.

Setup Mail (RX)

There are three possible settings for this option ON/MDN/OFF.

Receive Notification “ON”

When switched to “ON” a fixed message is sent back to the sending station to indicate successful reception and processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sending station.

Report messages consist of

SUCCESS: ……………………..

or

FAILURE: ………………………
