WHAT IS INTERNET FAXING?

Internet-enabled fax machines plug into your existing data network.
They convert scanned documents into file formats that are easily
transported over the Internet or your company intranet, sending data
to E-mail addressdestinations or other I-fax-capable machines.
Internet faxing bypasses the public switched telephone network and
offers many advantages for your business:

•

Lowers communication costs by eliminating per-call charges for each
transmission—especially for long-distance and international calls.

• Allows for simultaneous and instantaneous distribution of informa­tion to all recipients. Data is transmitted to all recipients at once,
at the maximum speed of your network—not the telephone line—
eliminating delays associated with sequential broadcast technology.

• Maintains image quality and document integrity through end-to-end
digital transmission. Your faxes are impervious to distortion from
static and line noise, so resolution is never compromised.

• Increases productivity by eliminating busy signals and rescanning
tasks—every fax gets through the first time, every time.

The Canon LASER CLASS 700 Series utilizes the ITU-T.37 standard
for Internet Fax transmissions. Similar to the standards for corporate
E-mail systems, this makes I-fax technology easy to use and instantly
familiar to your employees. The T.37“store and forward” process

relays a fax transmission from an originating device to an IP fax gate­way. The data is then sent to a receiving device, either another I-fax
unit or your PC’s E-mail inbox through mail servers. Store and forward
Internet faxing works essentially the same as sending an E-mail with
an attachment. From a user’s perspective, it is little different from
traditional G3 fax technology. The G3 format is replaced as a PDF or
M-TIFF file that is basically a snapshot of the original document.
The file is then sent using network data lines. Because the Canon
LASER CLASS 700 Series offers both I-fax and Super G3 sending,
totalcommunications flexibility is at your fingertips, allowing you to:

• Send a fax to an E-mail address

• Receive E-mail from an E-mail address

• Receive a G3 fax and forward it to E-mail

• Receive an I-fax and forward it to a G3 fax

• Scan images to E-mail
