9. Offramp Gateway

Offramp gateway overview

This function is used to convert an E-mail, received at this equipment as a relay station, into a Fax data
and forward it to another Fax machine through a public telephone line.
It is useful when you want to reduce communication cost by using both the Internet and public telephone
lines. For example, when you want to send a document out of your city or overseas, the document can be
sent as an E-mail to this equipment through the Internet, and then it will be forwarded to a target Fax
machine as a Fax data through a public telephone line.
To use this function for e-STUDIO520/600/720/850, you need to install the following option:
“Printer Kit (GM-1050) and Scanner Kit (GM-4010)” or “Printer/Scanner Kit (GM-2040)”
