6 RECEPTION FUNCTIONS

This chapter explains how to receive faxes and Internet faxes, and how to use the forwarding functions.

RECEIVING AN INTERNET FAX

The Internet fax function periodically* connects to the mail server (POP3 server) and checks whether or not Internet faxes have been received. When faxes have been received, the faxes are automatically retrieved and printed.

* The factory default setting is once every 5 minutes.

• If faxes will be received at night, keep the main power switch in the "on" position.

• For details on receiving faxes, see "RECEIVING FAXES" (page 150).
