Internet Fax (MFC-8860DN only)

Overview

Internet Faxing (I-Fax) allows you to send and receive Fax documents using the Internet as the transport 
mechanism. Documents are transmitted in E-mail messages as attached TIFF-F files. This means that 
computers are also able to receive and send documents, providing that the computer has as an application 
that can generate and view TIFF-F files, you can use Microsoft

®

 Imaging or a TIFF-F viewer application. Any 

documents sent via the machine will automatically be converted into a TIFF-F format. If you wish to send and 
receive messages to and from your machine, your mail application on the computer must be able to support 
the MIME format.

Note

Internet Fax is available in Black & White only.
