Automatically Forwarding Received Faxes to a Computer
You can automatically forward faxes from your machine to a computer.
Benefits of Forwarding to a Computer
By digitizing your documents, you can reduce the space required to store documents, improve search performance, and promote the productive reuse of your documents.
Junk faxes can be viewed and erased on the computer, enabling you to save on machine-related paper, toner, and maintenance costs.
You can check faxes without leaving your desk.
Required Condition
The Fax function is available for use.
The Send function is available for use.
Network settings are set.
You are logged in as the administrator.
This section describes how to set conditions to automatically forward faxes received from Company A to a shared folder accessible by employee B, and forward all faxes received from unspecified destinations to the Administration Division computer.
The screens may differ, depending on the model of the machine and on attached optional products.
Follow the procedures below.
Registering a Forwarding Destination
Setting a Forwarding Condition
Forwarding Faxes from Unrecognized Senders
Registering a Forwarding Destination

Folder Path
If you want to create a folder named "Temporary" in the PDF-Scan folder, enter '\Temporary'. You can send without entering this field.
User Name
Enter the sender's user name (the name used to log in to the computer).
Password
Enter the password that corresponds with the user name.
6.

NOTE
The registered fax number for the sender may contain irregularities such as "dial zero", spaces, or the country code. Forwarding conditions may change depending on such irregularities. If you are unsure of the presence of irregularities, select [Contains] instead of [Equals].
For example, if you are unsure whether the sender's fax number is '03-3123-4567' or '003-3123-4567', select [Contains] and enter '03-3123-4567' for the fax number.
