You can also send E-mail from your PC and have it relayed to a conventional FAX machine. The method of
entering the phone number of the conventional FAX machine that will receive the relayed E-mail will vary
depending on the mail application you are using. The following are some examples of different mail
applications:
Some E-mail applications do not support sending to multiple phone numbers. If your E-mail application
cannot support multiple phone numbers you will only be able to relay to one Fax machine at a time.
Enter the address of the relay machine and phone number of the FAX in the “TO” box using the same method
used when sending from a machine.

Important information on Internet Fax

Internet Fax Communication on a LAN system is basically the same as communication via E-mail; however,
it is different from Fax communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information for
using Internet Fax:
Factors such as the receiver’s location, structure of the LAN system, and how busy the circuit (such as the
internet) is, may cause the system to take a long time to send back an error mail. (normally 20 sec. to 30
sec.).
In the case of transmission through the Internet, due to its low level of security, we recommend that you
use standard phone lines to send confidential documents.
If the receiver’s mail system is not compatible with the MIME format, you cannot transmit a document to
the receiver. Depending on receiver’s server, there may be some cases in which the error mail will not be
sent back.
If the size of a document’s image data is huge, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.
You cannot change the font and character size of Internet mail that you receive.
