Registering an IP Address Fax Destination

An IP address fax destination can be registered or edited using Web Connection. Although character input is a difficult process using the Touch Panel, it can be carried out easily if you use the computer.

In the administrator mode, select [Store Address] - [Address Book] - [New Registration]. Select [Search from Function] - [IP Address Fax], then configure the following settings.
