I-Fax is a function for sending and receiving the image data of scanned originals via the Internet or an intranet. This section describes the reception method.

• POP Server Reception

To receive I-fax documents that arrive via a mail server like e-mail, it is necessary to specify the POP server settings in [Communication Settings]. You can set a POP interval to automatically check reception at the specified interval. (See "Common Communication Settings for E-Mail/I-Fax.")
You can also perform manual reception by pressing [Check I-Fax RX] on the Receive job status screen. (See "From the Receive Screen" in "Status Monitor/Cancel.")

• SMTP Reception

To receive I-fax documents that arrive directly from another machine without going via a mail server, set SMTP reception. (See "Common Communication Settings for E-Mail/I-Fax.")

I-fax documents received via SMTP are automatically printed.

• If files (images) that are attached to received I-fax documents are not compatible with this machine, the machine does not process (print, forward, or store) these files, but deletes them instead. The names of the deleted files and the message <Could not convert image> are printed with the text of the received I-fax.

• If a received I-fax document does not contain an e-mail message, and contains only a TIFF file attachment, the sender's name and subject of the e-mail (each up to 24 characters) are printed as the header of the TIFF image.
