Major features of IS-100
Internet fax transmission
Paper documents, such as hand-written letters, can be transmitted by e-mail using
the existing e-mail environment just like sending a fax. All you have to do is load the
original and designate the recipient’s e-mail address using a one-touch key or speed
dialing.
Scanned data from the original is sent by e-mail as an image data attachment.
Internet fax reception
E-mail messages are received from a POP server or SMTP server after checking the
mailbox, with preset time intervals for automatic printout.
PC-FAX transmission
When the recipient’s e-mail environment is unavailable, a document prepared by
Windows applications (quotation or chart) can be sent to the recipient’s fax machine
directly from a PC.
PC-FAX reception
The received fax document can be transferred to a PC and stored as electronic data to
save labors in filing or stocking. Hardcopy output can be made only for necessary
documents to save paper. It is also possible to order individual transfer to a PC
designated by a key with F-code or the sender’s number.

Network scanner function
Up to A3 size original and book original can be scanned at high-speed by simple
operation.
Scanned document data is saved in the designated folder on a PC, efficiently
converting paper-based information into electronic data. A data file can be shared in
any work place for effective utilization, promoting the fusion of conventional paper-
based information with electronic documents.
Network printer function
With its network capability, the printer can be used as a shared printer for PCs on the
LAN without the need for a printer server. Any document prepared by application
software can be printed out with high quality 600 dpi resolution.
Network management tools
With the use of a Web browser, a PC can perform such operations as Information
Server settings,display of transmission/reception history of e-mails and faxes, as well
as registration of one-touch dial.
