Fax Features
This Feature saves you time, and long distance phone line costs when sending an Internet Fax directly from your machine to
the end receiving station(s).
A Relay Network is basically composed of an Originating Station, which can be an Internet Fax Machine (your machine) or a
PC, a Relaying Internet Fax Machine (another machine), and End-receiving station(s), which can be regular G3 Fax machines.
By simply sending a Document(s) from your machine or an email message from a PC, to the Relay Machine, which is then
transmitted by your machine to the end receiving station(s) using regular phone lines as a normal G3 Fax message. (PC can
have TIFF-F or text (.txt) file attachment)
The end receiving station(s) are usually local in relation to the Relay Station, which incurs a local telephone charge for the Fax
Transmission.
After the Relay Station completes its transmission to the end receiving station(s), a Communication Journal is sent back to the
originator from the Relaying Internet Fax confirming whether the Internet Relayed Transmission was successful. Any Relay
activity information is sent by email from the Relaying Internet Fax to its Manager's Email Address, which is programmed in the
Relaying Internet Fax machine's User Parameters. (See pages 54-55)
