Faxes to an e-mail Address

Your fax machine can forward incoming faxes from an F-Code fax machine to an e-mail address.

!Important!

Be aware that although your OKIFAX has security features (password protection, access restricted to certain domain names), any system is vulnerable to attack. If you set up your OKIFAX for this feature, it may be possible for unauthorized faxes to be sent to other machines through your fax machine.

!Relay Print, User Function 28, must be ON for you to use Gateway Services (Forwarding).

The default setting for Relay Print, User Function 27, is OFF, to help protect against unauthorized faxes being sent through your machine.
