Configuring the IP Address Fax Environment
Setting flow
The IP address fax function is a function used to send and receive faxes within a limited network such as enterprise network. In addition to IP address, you can also use a host name and E-mail address to specify the destination.
The SMTP protocol is used to send and receive IP address faxes. Communications are established using the E-mail server (SMTP) function of this machine; therefore, no server is required to specify the destination's IP address for communications.
When using the IP address fax function, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.
