Using Internet Fax Functions

Internet Fax Precautions

Internet Fax communicates with a server over a LAN. It cannot communicate directly with other parties.

If a transmission is not successful, this machine usually receives an e-mail er- ror notification. See p.103 “Server-Generated Error E-mail”, Facsimile Refer- ence <Advanced Features> . However, e-mail error notifications may not be transmitted for various reasons. We recommend you confirm receipt of im- portant document by calling the other party.

• The level of security for Internet communications is low. We recommend you

use the telephone network for confidential communications.

Voice communication is not supported over a LAN.

Internet Fax delivery might be delayed due to network congestion. Use a standard fax whenever communication is time sensitive.

If you use this machine with dial-up connection, the Auto E-mail Reception function accesses the provider's server via telephone line and may incur call charges even if you do not receive e-mail. To reduce the frequency of server access, specify a large E-mail Reception Interval. For the E-mail Reception In- terval setting, see "Settings You Can Change with User Tools - File Transfer", Network Guide.
