Server Fax
Server fax allows you to send a fax over a network to a fax server. The fax server sends the fax to a fax
machine over a phone line.
Before you can send a server fax, configure a fax filing repository or filing location. The fax server
retrieves the documents from the filing location, then transmits the files over the telephone network.
You can print a confirmation report.

Before you can send a server fax, configure fax repository settings. When configured, the printer
transfers faxed images to the repository. The fax server sends the fax to the destination over a phone
line.
You can set up a repository that uses one of the following protocols:
• FTP
• SFTP
• SMB
• SMTP

Before you begin:
• Ensure that FTP or SFTP services are running on the server or computer where images faxed by the
printer are stored. Note the IP address or host name.
• Create a user account and password for the printer. When you use the server fax feature, the
printer logs in using the account, transfers the file to the server or computer, then logs out. Note
the user account and password.
• In the FTP or SFTP root directly, create a directory to use as a fax repository. Note the directory
path.
