fax, or IP-Fax whenever communication time is a concern.

If a power outage lasts about an hour, or the machine is disconnected from the power outlet for about an hour, documents stored in the fax machine's memory are deleted. If any document is deleted, the Power Failure Report is automatically printed out when the main power switch is turned on. Use this report to check which documents were deleted. Simply turning off the power by pressing the operation switch does not delete stored documents. See “Troubleshooting When Using the Facsimile Function”, Troubleshooting.

You may not be able to send large files as e-mail, depending on e-mail envi- ronment conditions.

When available memory is low, you may not be able to send Internet Fax documents.

Because the machine sends documents as e-mail messages with an attached TIFF-F image, viewer applications are required in order to view documents when they are received on a computer.

With a large volume of document, it may take some time before transmission starts. This is due to the time the machine requires to convert the data in memory.
