1 Internet Fax Function

Internet fax is a function used to send and receive faxes via the intranet and Internet.
The same network as the one used by the computers is used to transmit faxes. Therefore, you can send and
receive faxes to/from distant locations without having to worry about high communication costs or sending
a large number of pages.
The following describes the precautions for using the Internet Fax.
- To use the Internet fax function, optional units must be installed except in certain regions.
- For bizhub C3850FS/bizhub C3850: The optional Fax Kit FK-512 and Mount Kit MK-738 are required,
excluding models used in North America.
- For bizhub C3350: The optional Fax Kit FK-512 and Mount Kit MK-738 are required.
- Internet faxes are sent or received via E-mail. Prepare a dedicated Internet fax E-mail address for this
machine.
- Connect this machine to a network that is capable of sending and receiving E-mail massages.
- A file may be damaged depending on network conditions. Be sure to check that the file(s) is not dam-
aged.
- Even if "----" is displayed in the result column of the TX result screen or Activity Report, an E-mail may
not reach the receiver side due to a problem on the Internet route."----" indicates that normal commu-
nication has been established up to the server.
- You cannot transfer an original that exceeds the A4 or letter width (216 mm / 8.5 inches).
- If color or gray scale data is received, they will be discarded.

2.3 Option settings

Registering a frequently used destination

Registering a frequently used E-mail address to this machine as a destination will save you from having to
enter it each time you send an e-mail.
For details on how to register it, refer to page 7-2.

Using an LDAP server to specify addresses

When the LDAP server or Active Directory is used for user management, an E-mail address can be searched
or specified via the server. To use the LDAP server to specify a destination, you must register the server on
this machine.
For details on the setting procedure, refer to Chapter 2 "Configuring the Operating Environment of This Ma-
chine" in [User's Guide: Applied Functions].

dReference
For details on how to search using the LDAP server, refer to page 3-10.

Registering a subject and text of the successfully received E-mail message

When the recipient machine receives an Internet fax, the fax is printed, then the document that notifies the
successful reception of the E-mail message (successful reception E-mail) is printed. This document contains
the subject and text that are specified when the fax is sent from this machine.
Pre-register multiple preset text for the subject and fixed message text of an E-mail; you can use them de-
pending on destinations.
For details on the registration procedure, refer to Chapter 1 "Using Web Connection" in [User's Guide: Ap-
plied Functions].

4 How to Receive a Fax

Receiving a fax automatically
The machine automatically inquires the mail server for fax reception status at a predetermined interval (de-
fault: 15 minutes). If any fax is received successfully, the machine receives and prints the message.

Tips
- You cannot transfer an original that exceeds the A4 or letter width (216 mm / 8.5 inches). If the received
data exceeds the A4 or letter width, it results in an error, and an error report is printed out.
- If color or gray scale data is received, they will be discarded.

dReference
You can skip printing and forcibly save the received fax to the memory of this machine. This prevents fax data
from being stolen or lost after being printed, and only the necessary fax(es) will be printed. For details, refer
to page 5-4.
Received faxes can be forwarded to a pre-specified destination. They can be converted to computer-com-
patible files for management. For details, refer to page 5-3.

Receiving a fax manually

The user manually inquires the mail server for fax reception status.
Tap [E-mail RX] to request information from the mail server, and receive and print a fax receipt message, if

Default print settings

A received fax is printed according to the following conditions depending on the page size of the fax.
A standard-size fax, such as A4, is printed on the same standard size paper as the received fax while being
slightly reduced in size (default: 96%).
For faxes that are longer in the longitudinal direction than the standard size, the optimal paper size is deter-
mined based on the width and length of the fax, and printed on paper of the same size. If the optimal size
paper is not available, the fax is printed on paper of a similar size.

Tips
If necessary, you can change the reduction ratio that is used when printing a fax.
To configure settings: [Utility] - [Administrator Settings] - [Fax Settings] - [TX/RX Settings] - [Reduction Ratio]
