Important Note!

The Default setting of Fax Parameter No. 177 (XMT FILE TYPE) for this machine is "PDF", as PDF has become the industry standard for exchanging documents from computer to computer (Scan-to-Email feature).

However, this PDF format cannot be used for Internet Faxing (i.e. from an Internet Fax machine to an Internet Fax machine) as current Internet Fax Specifications do not support PDF file format. Internet Faxing requires TIFF-F file format. If your customer's requirements are mainly Internet Faxing, please change the Fax Parameter No. 177 (XMT FILE TYPE) to "TIFF" (see page 88).

If your customer uses both Internet Fax and Scan-to-Email and needs to switch file formats on the fly, please explain to them how to use the Select Mode (F8-6) "XMT FILE TYPE/NAME" for individual transmissions. After the transmission is completed, the machine returns to its Default setting (see pages 32 to 35).

NOTE

1. To function as an SMTP Mail Server, your machine's email address must include its unique Host

 

Name within your company domain. This unique Host Name must be registered within your

 

network’s DNS (Domain Name System) Server.

 

Example: Internet_Fax@fax01.panasonic.com

2.Automatically refers to immediate SMTP transfer or immediate POP3 retrieval. Manually refers to manual retrieval of mail when configured as a POP3 Client.

3.If you are using DHCP to acquire the network parameters, contact your Network Administrator to reserve the obtained IP Address printed on the Fax Parameter List.

4.Your machine will receive, print, forward or relay emails in text message format and TIFF-F image file attachment only.
