•Send paper-based information as an Internet Email.

•Send Internet fax message (Direct Internet Fax XMT).

•Receive, and print an Internet Email automatically.

•Forward received G3 fax message, or Email automatically to the preprogrammed Email address, or regular G3 fax machine (see "Fax Forward" on page 155).

•Route received G3 fax message automatically to the sender-specified Email address, or G3 fax machine using ITU-T SUB-Address (see "Inbound Routing" on page 151).

•Route received G3 fax messages automatically to the preprogrammed Email address, or G3 fax machine using the sender’s fax ID code (see "Inbound Routing" on page 151).

To utilize the above functions, your machine needs to be set up properly on your network. Please contact

your network administrator for actual network setup.
