Overview 1
Internet faxing (IFAX) allows you to send and receive fax documents using the Internet as the transport
mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that
computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has as an application
that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use any TIFF-F viewer application. Any documents sent via
the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and receive messages
to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support the MIME format.
Note
Internet Fax is available in Black & White only.
Getting connected 1
Before sending or receiving an Internet fax you must configure your Brother machine to communicate with
your network and mail server. You must ensure the following: a correctly configured IP address for your
machine, an E-mail address for your machine, the mail server(s) IP address, mailbox name and password for
your Brother machine. If you are unsure of any of these items, please contact your systems Administrator.
For details of how to configure this information, see Setup Internet (from the Setup IFAX menu) on page 25.

Shift + Start 1
Used to receive E-mail from the POP3 server manually.
Sending an Internet fax 1
Sending an Internet fax is the same as sending a normal fax. If you have already programmed the addresses
of the destination Internet fax machines as One Touch or Speed-Dial locations, you can send the Internet fax
by loading the document into the machine, use the Fax Resolution key to set the preferred resolution and
choose a Speed Dial or One Touch number and press Start.
If you wish to manually enter the Internet fax address, load the document into the machine and press Shift
and 1simultaneously to change into the “alphabet” dialing mode.
To manually enter the Internet fax address, see Entering Text on page 47.

Manually entering text 1
Press Shift and 1simultaneously to change into the “alphabet” dialing mode.
You can use the Dial Pad to enter the E-mail address. For more information, see Entering Text on page 47.
Please note that also you can connect to the machine using a web browser and store the E-mail address
information to a Speed Dial or One Touch location through Web Based Management. For more information
on Web Based Management, see the Network User’s Guide on the CD-ROM we have provided with the
machine.
As you enter an Internet fax address, the address will appear character by character on the LCD panel. If you
specify more than 20 characters, the LCD panel will scroll the name to the left character by character. You
can enter up to 60 characters.
Press Start to send the document.
After the document is scanned, it is transmitted to the recipient Internet fax machine automatically via your
SMTP server. You can cancel the send operation by pressing the Stop/Exit key during scanning. After the
transmission is finished, the machine will return to standby mode.
Some E-mail servers do not allow you to send large E-mail documents (the System Administrator will often
place a limit on the maximum E-mail size). With this function enabled, the machine will display
OutofMemorywhen trying to send E-mail documents over 1 Mbyte in size. The document will not be sent
and an error report will be printed. The document you are sending should be separated into smaller
documents that will be accepted by the mail server. (For your information, a 42 page document based on the
ITU-T Test Chart #1 test chart is approximately 1 Mbyte in size.)
Receiving E-mail or Internet fax 1
There are 2 ways you can receive E-mail messages:
POP3 receiving (manually initiated)
POP3 receiving at regular intervals
Using POP3 receiving the machine must poll the E-mail server to receive the print jobs. This polling can occur
at set intervals (for example, you can configure the machine to poll the E-mail server at 10 minute intervals)
or you can manually poll the server by pressing the Shift + Start keys.
If your machine starts to receive E-mail print jobs, the LCD panel will reflect this activity. For example, you
will see Receiving on the LCD panel followed by xx E-mail(s). If you press the Shift + Start keys to
manually poll the E-mail server for E-mail print jobs and there are no mail documents waiting to be printed,
the machine will display No Mail on the LCD panel for two seconds.
If your machine is out of paper when receiving data, the received data will be held in the machine's memory.
This data will be printed automatically after paper is re-inserted into the machine. (For European, Asian and
Oceanic machines, Memory Receive must be switched On.)
If the received mail is not in a plain text format or an attached file is not in the TIFF-F format, the following
error message will be printed: “ATTACHED FILE FORMAT NOT SUPPORTED. FILE NAME:XXXXXX.doc”
If the received mail is too large, the following error message will be printed: "E-MAIL FILE TOO LARGE". If
Delete POP Receive Error Mail is ON (default) then the error mail is automatically deleted from the E-mail
server.

Receiving an Internet fax to your computer 1
When a computer receives an Internet fax document, the document is attached to a mail message that
informs the computer that it has received a document from an Internet fax. This is notified in the subject field
of the received mail message.
If the computer to which you wish to send a document is not running Windows®2000/XP, Windows Server®
2003 or Windows Vista®operating system, please inform the computer's owner that they must install some
software that can view TIFF-F files.
Forwarding received E-mail and fax messages 1
You can forward received E-mail or standard fax messages to another E-mail address or fax machine.
Received messages can be forwarded via E-mail to a computer or Internet fax. They can also be forwarded
via standard phone lines to another machine.
The setting can be enabled using a web browser or through the front panel of the machine. The steps for
configuring fax forward can be found in the User’s Guide supplied with your machine.
Please see the User’s Guide included with the machine to check that this feature is supported.
Relay broadcasting 1
This function allows the Brother machine to receive a document over the Internet, and then relay it to other
fax machines through conventional telephone lines.
If you wish to use your machine as a relay broadcast device, you must specify the domain name that you trust
at the machine, in other words, the portion of the name after the “@” sign.
A trusted domain refers to the E-mail address. For example, if the other party’s address is [e-mail],
then we identify the domain as brother.com. If the E-mail address is [e-mail], then we identify the
domain as brother.co.uk.
Use care in selecting a trusted domain since any user on a trusted domain will be able to send a relay
broadcast. You can register up to 10 domain names.
Relay broadcast can support the relay of a document up to a maximum of 48 fax machines through
conventional telephone lines.

Relay broadcast from a machine 1
In this example, your machine has an E-mail address of [e-mail], you wish to send a document
from this machine to another machine in England with an E-mail address of [e-mail], this
machine will then forward the document to a standard fax machine using a conventional telephone line. If
your E-mail address is [e-mail], you must configure a trusted domain name of brother.com on the
machine in England that will broadcast the document to the conventional fax machine. If you do not enter the
domain name information, then the machine in the middle (the machine that will broadcast the document) will
not trust any internet jobs that it receives from the machine in the @brother.com domain.
After the trusted domain is set you can send the document from your machine [e.g. [e-mail]] by
entering the E-mail address of the machine [e.g. [e-mail]] that will forward the document
followed by the phone number of the fax that will receive the document. The following is an example of how
to enter the E-mail address and phone number
Internet
[e-mail] [e-mail] 123456789

If you want to have the document relayed to more than one standard fax machine the address can be entered
using the following method:
aEnter the phone number of the first Fax machine [email protected]o.uk(fax#123).
bPress OK.
cEnter the phone number of the second Fax machine [e-mail](fax#456).
dPress Start.
Relay broadcast from a computer 1
You can also send E-mail from your computer 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 an machine.
[e-mail](fax#[phone])

TX Verification Mail 1
Transmission Verification Mail supports two separate functions. Verification Mail for sending allows you to
request notification from the receiving station that the Internet Fax or E-mail was received and processed.
Verification Mail for receiving allows you to transmit a default report back to the sending station after
successfully receiving and processing an Internet Fax or E-mail.
To use this feature you must set the Notification option within the Setup Mail RX and
Setup Mail TX options.
Setup Mail TX 1
You can set the Notification option in the Setup Mail TX option to either On or Off. When switched
to On an additional field of information is sent with the image data. This field is named “MDN”.
MDN (Mail Disposition Notification):
This field requests the status of the Internet Fax/E-mail message after delivery through the SMTP (Send Mail
Transfer Protocol) transport system. Once the message has arrived at the receiving station this data is used
when the machine or user reads or prints the received Internet Fax or E-mail. For example, if the message is
opened for reading or is printed the receiving station sends back a notification to the original sending machine
or user.
The receiving station must support the MDN field in order to be able to send a notification report, otherwise
the request will be ignored.
Setup Mail RX 1
There are three possible settings for this option On, MDN or Off.
Receive Notification “On”
When switched to “On” a fixed message is sent back to the sending station to indicate successful reception
and processing of the message. These fixed messages depend on the operation requested by the sending
station.
Report messages consist of:
SUCCESS: Received From <mail address>
Receive Notification “MDN”
When switched to “MDN” a report as described above is sent back to the sending station if the originating
station sent the “MDN” field to request confirmation.
Receive Notification “Off”
Off switches all forms of receive notification Off, no message are sent back to the sending station regardless
of the request.
Error mail 1
If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet fax, the mail server will send an error message back
to the machine and the error message will be printed. If there is an error while receiving mail, an error
message will be printed (Example: “The message being sent to the machine was not in a TIFF-F format.”).

Important information on Internet fax 1
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.

Before using your Brother product in a network environment, you need to configure the correct TCP/IP

The LAN menu selections of the control panel allow you to set up the Brother machine for your network
configuration. Press Menu, then press aor bto choose LAN. Proceed to the menu selection you wish to
configure. See Function table and default factory settings on page 43.
Please note that the machine is supplied with the BRAdmin Light utility and Remote Setup applications, which
also can be used to configure many aspects of the network.
TCP/IP 3
This menu has ten sections: BOOT Method, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Node Name,
WINS Config, WINS Server, DNS Server, APIPA and IPv6.
BOOT Method 3
This selection controls how the machine obtains an IP address. The default setting is Auto.
Note
If you do not want your print server configured via DHCP, BOOTP or RARP, you must set the BOOT
Method to Static so that the print server has a static IP address. This will prevent the print server from
trying to obtain an IP address from any of these systems. To change the BOOT Method, use the machine’s
control panel, BRAdmin Light utility, Remote Setup or Web Based Management (web browser).
