Receiving Internet Fax
You can receive an e-mail that was sent to the e-mail address of the machine as an Internet Fax, and print it. The machine is configured to check for incoming e-mail on the POP server every 15 minutes (the factory default setting).
The machine receives incoming e-mail as soon as it arrives on the server when SMTP is specified as the reception protocol (SMTP Reception).
You can also configure the machine to receive incoming e-mail only when you operate the fax screen and not to receive e-mail automatically.
An error notification e-mail is not sent to the sender when reception fails if SMTP reception is specified.
You can send an e-mail to the e-mail address for Internet Fax and print the file attached to the e-mail on the machine.

Configuring SMTP Reception
Under the factory default setting, the machine receives incoming e-mail every 15 minutes. When the reception protocol is set to SMTP in [System Settings]
[Send (Email/Folder)][Email], the machine receives an incoming e-mail as soon as it arrives at the SMTP server.
You can also deliver the e-mail received by SMTP to another fax.
Delivering E-mails Received via SMTP to Another Fax Destination
Specify the machine as the forwarding destination of the SMTP server in the M record on the DNS server in advance.
Press [Settings] on the Home screen.
Press [System Settings] on the Settings screen.
Press [Send (Email/Folder)][Email][Reception Protocol].
Select [SMTP] and then press [OK].
Press [Home] (

Incoming e-mails are not received even during the e-mail reception period if the remaining amount of memory becomes low. The machine will resume receiving e-mails when an adequate amount of memory becomes available.

The machine behavior varies depending on the file format.

When a JPEG or PDF file is attached
JPEG/PDF files are processed as jobs in the printer function and not in the fax function.
The text information in the body of the e-mail is not printed.
You cannot use all reception functions that can be used with a conventional fax. The machine does not respond to a reception confirmation request.
The print history is recorded as the job history in the printer function.
An encrypted PDF is printed only when the password specified in the file matches the password specified in [Printer Settings]
[PDF Menu][Change PDF Password].When the machine receives a JPEG file in EXIF format, the file is printed on A4 or LT size paper.
When the machine is configured not to print a JPEG/PDF file and receives a file in a format other than TIFF, PDF or JPEG, an error notification e-mail is sent to the sender of the e-mail.
