INTERNET FAX (MFC ONLY) 12 - 11

Error mail

If there is a mail delivery error while sending an Internet Fax, the mail 
server will send an error message back to the MFC 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 MFC was not in a TIFF-F format.”).

Important information on Internet Fax

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 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 huge, there is a possibility 
of unsuccessful transmission.

■

You cannot change font and character size of Internet mail that 
you received.
