1. Introduction
Scan to E-mail Functions
There are two types of scanner related functions Scan to E-mail and Network De-
livery Scanner. This section describes about the Scan to E-mail function. For de-
tails about the Network Delivery Scanner function, see p.13 “Network Delivery
Scanner Functions”.
Scanned documents are sent as e-mail messages with an attached image. Black
and white documents are converted into PDF or TIFF-F, and color documents
into PDF or JPEG images. You can specify a document format with user param-
eters. Also you can turn the JPEG function on and off with a user function key
for Color Scanning.
Note
❒When you send e-mail with PDF or JPEG images to NIC FAX using the Scan
to E-mail function, NIC FAX cannot receive the e-mail.

Internet Fax Functions
NIC FAX converts scanned document images to e-mail format and transmits the
data over the Internet.
The e-mail sent by NIC FAX can be received by another NIC FAX or a computer.
Instead of dialing the telephone number of the destination you want to send to,
you enter the relevant e-mail address.
Documents are sent as e-mail messages with an attached TIFF-F image. Because
of this, a MIME-compatible e-mail reader is required in order to view documents
received on a computer. To view an attached image, software capable of display-
ing TIFF-F formatted images is required. NIC FAX includes DeskTopBinder V2
Lite, which can be used to view, edit, and store image data.
You can also receive e-mail messages from computers or other Internet fax ma-
chines, and print or forward these.
Note
❒NIC FAX must be connected to a LAN and set up correctly in order to use its
Internet fax functions. See p.23 “Getting Started”.
❒The Internet Fax function supported by NIC FAX is compliant with ITU-T
Rec. T.37.

Internet Fax Precautions
•Internet Fax communicates with a server over a LAN. It cannot communicate
directly with other parties.
•If a transmission is not successful, NIC FAX usually receives an e-mail error
notification. However, e-mail error notifications may not be transmitted for
various reasons. We recommend you confirm receipt of important e-mail by
calling the other party.
•The level of security for Internet communications is low. We recommend you
use the telephone network for confidential communications.
•Voice communication is not supported over a LAN.
•Internet fax delivery might be delayed due to network congestion. Use a stan-
dard fax whenever communication is time sensitive.
Functions Not Supported by E-mail Transmission
The following functions are supported with standard fax transmission, but not
with Internet faxing.
•Immediate Transmission
•Confidential Transmission
•SUB Code Transmission
•ID Transmission
•Polling Transmission
•Chain Dial
•Dialing with the Dial Option Key
•On Hook Dial
•Manual Dial
•JBIG Transmission

IP-Fax Functions
With the IP-Fax feature, you can send or receive faxes through fax machines di-
rectly connected to the same network using TCP/IP protocol.
Use the IP address or host name instead of the fax number to specify the desti-
nation machine, or use the alias number when using the gatekeeper.
You can also send faxes to G3 fax machines connected to PSTN via the VoIP gate-
ways (with T.38 Function).
No e-mail server is required since NIC FAX communicates with destination fax
machines connected to the same network directly. The transmission speed is
higher than when using G3.
1. Transmission by specifying the destination with the IP address of VoIP gate-
way (192.168.1.64) and fax number of the receiver (212–123–5678)
2. Transmission by specifying the destination with the alias fax number of the re-
ceiver (2123336666)
3. Transmission by specifying the destination with the IP address or host name
of the receiver (192.168.1.10 or IPFAX1)
Note
❒NIC FAX must be connected to a LAN and set up correctly in order to use its
IP-Fax functions. See p.23 “Getting Started”.
❒The IP-Fax function supported by NIC FAX is compliant to ITU-T Rec. T.38.

❖VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)
This is a technology that enables voice communications over the Internet by
linking telephone network and IP network. VoIP gateway converts protocols
to connect these different types of networks.
IP-Fax Precautions
•You cannot transmit any data to other networks where a firewall is installed.
•The level of security for Internet communications is low. We recommend use
of the telephone network for confidential communications.
•Voice communications are not supported over a LAN.
Functions Not Supported by IP-Fax Transmission
The following functions are supported with standard fax transmission, but not
with IP-Fax transmission.
•Batch Transmission

LAN-Fax Functions
With a NIC FAX connected to a LAN, you can use a telephone line to send a fax
created using a computer application to another fax machine.
To send a fax, simply select [Print]from the Windows application, and then select
LAN-Fax as the printer and specify a destination.
In addition to sending faxes, LAN-Fax allows NIC FAX to be used for printing
out and saving documents in TIFF-F file for proof checking.
Note
❒NIC FAX must be connected to a LAN and set up correctly in order to use
LAN-Fax functions. See p.23 “Getting Started”.
LAN-Fax Precautions
•When you transmit faxes, or print documents using the LAN-Fax functions,
you cannot abort data transmission by pressing the {
{{
{Clear/Stop}
}}
}key while the
data is being transmitted from your computer to the fax machine.
