PRECAUTIONS
Precautions for Internet Transmission
Transmissions using the Internet Fax function are the same as E-mail transmissions. Before you start to
use the Internet Fax function, it is recommended that you read this section and understand the precautions
for Internet Transmission.
• An Internet Fax document is sent to the company E-mail server and out to the Internet. It is not sent via
the PSTN, like regular facsimile transmissions.
• An error mail is sent back from the mail server when the E-mail document fails to be forwarded to the
recipient.
• An error mail is sometimes not sent back even if the E-mail has failed.
• Internet transmission has minimal security. It is recommended that you use regular facsimile
transmission when a confidential document is sent.
• Transmission times and receipt of an Internet fax is dependent upon the Internet traffic at the time of
transmission.
• If the document being transmitted has a large amount of data it may not be successfully sent due to
the configuration of the E-mail Server.
