The machine supports T.37 Full Mode that is defined in the international standards for Internet Fax (ITU-T recommendation, RFC2532). When the destination device also supports T.37 Full Mode, the machine and destination device can exchange their reception statuses and performance details information bidirectionally.
Receiving Reception Notice
When you send an Internet Fax requesting reception notice, the destination device will send back a Reception Notice e-mail upon receiving the Internet Fax. You can confirm the reception results at the destination in "Records".Sending faxes in the optimal size and resolution
The Reception Notice e-mail contains the properties of the destination device such as the supported compression methods, reception paper sizes, and resolution. When the destination device is registered as supporting Full Mode in the address book, the properties in the Reception Notice e-mail are registered automatically in the address book. The machine then uses this information to send Internet Faxes to the destination, optimizing the size and resolution according to the information.
When the destination device does not support T.37 Full Mode, the machine automatically sends Internet Faxes in the size and resolution that corresponds to Simple Mode (81/2 × 11 (A4) size, at 200×100 dpi or 200×200 dpi) regardless of the settings specified when sending the fax.
Use Web Image Monitor to register a destination address as supporting Full Mode. The properties of the destination can also be registered manually.
Programming the Performance Details Information of an Internet Fax DestinationWhen specifying more than one destination for an Internet Fax, the fax will be sent separately to each destination if a destination registered as supporting Full Mode is included.
