Transferring a Received Fax Document to E-mail Address or Folder
In addition to printing received faxes from the machine, you can also transfer them to an e-mail address or a shared folder on your computer (Forwarding). This feature is convenient when you want to check the content of received faxes via e-mail while you are out of your office or to manage received faxes in the folder on your computer.
You cannot transfer a fax with Memory Lock Reception that requires entering the Memory Lock ID to print.
To transfer a received fax to more than one destination, specify the destination group.
You can also specify a different destination for each sender.
