PC fax transmission and reception
Here we explain how to send and receive documents using “OfficeBridge”.
There are two ways of sending documents. One is to send a document in the docu-
ment list to the destination by fax or e-mail. The other way is to send directly from
a PC application to a remote fax machine or e-mail location.
When you set up the “Forward Settings” or “Received Fax Forwarding” in “Admin
Tools”, you can receive faxes and e-mails in the Public Inbox or in a Personal Inbox.
Sending documents in the machine’s memory
1 Start OfficeBridge and log-in.
2 Select the file you want to send by checking the box next to the file.
• When you are going to send a file from the Temporary Storage or send only a
cover page, select nothing.
3 Click [Send].
The “Fax Transmission Settings” dialog will appear.

4 Specify the destinations and make and adjust any settings.
• To enter destinations, see “How to enter the destinations” on page 2-5.

Sending a document from a PC application
After the PC-FAX driver is installed on your PC, you can send a document directly
