Important Information about Internet Fax (I-Fax)

I-Fax communication on a LAN is very similar to communication via email; however, it is different from fax communication using standard phone lines. The following is important information for using I-Fax:

  • Factors such as the receiver's location, structure of the LAN and how busy the circuit (such as the Internet) is may cause the system to take a longer time than usual to send an error mail.
  • When sending confidential documents, we recommend using standard phone lines instead of the Internet (due to its low level of security).
  • If the receiver's mail system is not MIME-compatible, you cannot use I-Fax to send documents. If possible, find out in advance, and note that some servers will not send an error reply.
  • If a document is too large to send via I-Fax, it may not reach the receiver.
  • You cannot change the font or size of the text in any Internet mail you receive.
