Oki 5780 manual A client can be a computer or an Internet Fax

SMTP: How it Works

1The client sends a message to the mail server using the address format FAX=123@fax.abc.com.

A client can be a computer or an Internet Fax.

2The mail server makes an enquiry to the DNS server about fax.abc.com

3The DNS server replies to the mail server with the IP address of fax.abc.com.

4The mail server forwards the message to the Internet Fax.

5The Internet Fax then forwards the message to an F-Code fax machine with the telephone number of 123.

It is also possible for an e-mail client to communicate directly with this machine. To do this, specify the IP address of this Internet Fax instead of the e-mail client’s SMTP server address. Specify a recipient using the above address format and attach a TIFF file in a format supported by this Internet Fax, and you can have the documents forwarded by fax on reception.

Please note that it may not be possible to establish a connection between this Internet Fax and some types of e- mail clients.
