Automatically Forwarding Received Faxes
You can set the machine to automatically forward a received fax to another destination, such as an employee at another branch.
Benefits of Automatic Forwarding
Avoid wasting the time required to transmit information while reducing the possibility of human error. Sending an e-mail notification at the time of forwarding is an effective way to ensure that the forwarded document is viewed at its destination.
Required Condition
The Fax function is available for use.
You are logged in as a user with the required privileges. (See "Setting Administrators.")

Also described is how to print the list of forwarding settings to verify that they are correct.
