PRECAUTIONS
Note the following important precautions.
Internet Fax Precautions
❐NIC FAX does not support installation of the optional PC FAX EXPANDER TYPE500.
❐Internet Fax performs communication with a server over a LAN. It cannot communicate
directly with another party.
❐Error Mails may not be transmission reason. Confirmation of the transmission recom-
mended of the sending important mails.
❐The level of security for Internet communications is low. The use of standard subscriber
lines is recommended for confidential communications.
❐Voice communications are not supported over a LAN.
❐Internet fax delivery might be delayed due to network congestion. Use a standard fax
whenever communication is time sensitive.
✽Thefollowing functions are supported withstandardfax transmission, but notwithInternet
faxing.
Functions Not Supported by Mail Transmission
❐Immediate Transmission
❐ID Transmission
❐Confidential Transmission
❐Polling Transmission
❐Batch Transmission
❐Forwarding of Substitute Reception or Confidential Reception messages (Forwarding to
a mail address not supported.)
❐ECM
❐Dialing with the Dial Option Key

7
Functions Not Supported by Mail Reception
❐Manual Reception
❐ID Reception
❐Forwarding Station (Forwarding of Mail not supported.)
❐Confidential Reception
❐Polling Reception
❐Multi-sort Reception
❐Authorized Reception
❐Memory Lock Reception
❐Specified Paper Cassette Selection
✽Notethatthesample operation panel displays and NIC FAX application screens shown in
this Operator’s Manual may differ somewhat from those that actually appear.

8
Connecting NIC FAX to a LAN with E-mail makes it possible to send hard copy documents as
E-mail to another NIC FAX or to a computer. Documents received from a G3 fax can also be
delivered or forwarded as E-mail to a computer.
NIC FAX FEATURES
❐TCP/IP communication protocols support connection to a LAN with E-mail
❐Easy-to-master operations that are identical to those of a standard fax machine
❐Also supports fax transmission and reception over a telephone line
❐NIC FAX Com Redirector (NIC FAX applications) can be used to send a fax from a com-
puter on a LAN using a fax application.
❐NIC FAX Monitor can be used to check the settings and status of NIC FAX from a com-
puter.
❐ICViewer can be used to view, edit, and store images sent from NIC FAX.
❐Received faxes can be directly transferred or mailed to a computer. Received fax data
can be read at your own desk for improved communication security.
❐Use of the Internet greatly reduces communication costs.
❐Elimination of the use of paper for fax transmission and reception reduces paper ex-
penses.

WHAT IS AN INTERNET FAX?
NIC FAX converts fax (hard copy) document data transmitted over a telephone line 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
inputting the telephone number of the destination you want to send to, you input the appli-
cable 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 com-
puter. To view an attached image, software that is capable of displaying TIFF-F formatted
images is required. NIC FAX applications include ICViewer, which can be used to view, edit,
and store image data. (See the ICViewer Reference for full details on how to use it.)
NIC FAX must be connected to a LAN and set up correctly in order to use its Internet fax
functions. See Chapter 2 of this Operator’s Manual for details on connecting to a LAN and
making initial settings.
Note
❐NICFAX Internet fax functionssupportE-mailcommunication only.They do not support

GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH NIC FAX
BASIC TRANSMISSION
NIC FAX supports standard fax transmission to another fax machine, as well as fax transmis-
sion from a computer on the LAN through NIC FAX. A fax can be sent from the computer
using a fax application.
Note
❐Because E-mail does not handle extremely large messages well, you may not be able
to send very long faxes as E-mail.
❐The level of security for Internet communications is very low. The use of standard
subscriber lines is recommended for confidential communications.
Sending a Fax as E-mail from NIC FAX
For Internet Fax, input the E-mail address instead of the fax number.
1. Make sure that the Memory Transmission indi-
cator is lit.
❐Ifit isn’t,press theMemory/Immediate Trans-
mission key.
❐The data for Internet fax transmissions must
first be stored into memory before it is sent.
Immediate Transmission is not supported.
2. Placeyourdocument face upinto the feeder,and
set the scanning parameters.
❐Messages are always sent as Letter/Legal
size. If you feed wider document than Letter/
Legal, it will be reduced in size to Letter/Le-
gal.
❐Text issent asDetailresolution(200 ×200dpi),
even if Fine (200 ×400 dpi) is selected.
3. Press the User Function key (F1-F5) with the E-
mail Address Input function stored in it.
❐E-mailAddressInputisselectedwhenthe Mail
Address indicator is lit.
For details on User Function Keys, see page 44.
4. Use the Quick Dial keys and number keys to in-
put the E-mail address you want to send to.
❐You cannot enter letters or symbols by press-
ing Quick Dial keys when the Mail indicator is
not lit.
❐When specifying an E-mail address with a
Quick Dial, Speed Dial, Group Dial or the
Redial key, step 3 is not necessary.

❐You can enter the “@”character, periods, un-
derline characters, and hyphens with the
Quick Dial keys. Press [Symbols] when you
wishto enter symbols.Use[A<->a]to shiftbe-
tweenupper-case and lower-casecharacters.
5. Press [OK].
❐This confirms the E-mail address as shown
on the display and causes the Mail indicator
to go out.
6. Press Start.
❐This starts reading of the document into
memory. The E-mail send operation starts af-
ter the read operation is complete. The Com-
municating indicator is lit while a send op-
eration is in progress.
❐With a long message, it may take some time
before the transmission starts. This is due to
the time the machine requires to convert the
data in memory.
Note
❐For how to cancel an Internet fax transmission, see page 71
