Important information on Internet fax 8
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 the 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 too large, there is a possibility of unsuccessful transmission.
 You cannot change the font or character size of Internet mail that you received.
