What is I-Fax?
I-Fax (Internet Facsimile) enables you to transmit and receive a scanned original
document converted to TIFF (Tag Image File Format) image data or PDF (Portable
Document Format) as an attachment of an e-mail, to/from any facsimile with I-Fax
capability or any personal computer with e-mail through the Internet. I-Fax has two
transmission modes: the Simple Mode and the E-Mail Mode.
■
Simple Mode
In the Simple Mode, a scanned original document is converted to TIFF (MH) image data.
Size of the converted image data is limited to LTR, and its resolution is fixed to 200 x 200
dpi or 100 x 200 dpi, adhering to the common I-Fax standard. The image format, image
size, and resolution are restricted in the Simple Mode.
To exchange image data with other facsimiles with I-Fax capability, select the MODE> when specifying the transmission mode. (In case it is between imageCLASS 2300 with I-Fax, you can exchange image data, except for PDF in the 'E-Mail Mode'). You can also exchange image data with personal computers with e-mail. ■ E-Mail Mode In the E-Mail Mode, a scanned original document is converted to PDF, TIFF (MMR (Modified Modified Read)), TIFF (MR (Modified Read)) or TIFF (MH (Modified Huffman)) image data. To select an image data format, see "Registering Mail Addresses for One-Touch/Coded Speed Dialing," on p. 4-5. If you select 'E-Mail Mode' as the transmission mode, you can exchange image data with personal computers with e-mail. To specify a transmission mode, see "Specifying Mail Transmitting Conditions," on p. 4-9, and "Specifying Mail Basic Items," on p. 3-2. You can specify a transmission mode in two ways: by registering one-touch speed dialing/coded speed dialing, or specifying the mail user settings. The transmission mode specified by registering one-touch speed dialing/ coded speed dialing has higher priority. Furthermore, I-Fax enables you to: • Select POP3 or SMTP as a reception protocol. • Set the machine to check mail periodically. • Set the timer to transmit I-Fax, up to five times a day for time setting. Settings for the same day every week is also possible. • Upload image data to an FTP server.
