E-mails can be sent directly from machines equipped with
iFax to a computer
● You can send E-mails from machines equipped with iFax directly to the com-
puter. As the E-mail forwarding feature allows you to forward received docu-
ments to your computer, you do not have to collect the incoming faxes at the
facsimile machine. Moreover, the fax documents can be displayed on the com-
puter screen and thus helps to cut down paper usage.
See “13.4.3 Forwarding a Fax as E-mail From Mailbox” (P. 287) for details.
● The machine will scan the original document as a TIFF file attachment to the E-
mail. As the attachment can be delivered to the computer, you can save, pro-
cess or edit the file.
If TIFF-J is configured as the profile, the file may not be opened by the computer. In such cases,
specify the E-mails in TIFF-S or TIFF-F format and send.
The file formats and profiles that can be used for receiving E-mails are as follows:
File format: TIFF-FX (RFC2301)
Profiles:TIFF-S, TIFF-F, TIFF-J, TIFF-C
If the profile received is not compatible, the file may not be printed.
