Setup Mail (TX)

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 I-
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 MFC or user 
reads or prints the received I-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)

There are three possible settings for this option ON/MDN/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.

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 messages 
are send back to the sending station regardless of the request.
