I-Fax

I-Fax, despite its complicated nature, is an easy-to-use feature. The T.37 protocol allows your fax machine to send and receive email over your LAN connection, without ever needing to be hooked up to your computer. Note, if your email server uses authentication, see important information “Authentication ­Unable To Send Global E-mails” on page 25.
The I-Fax feature is mutually exclusive with the parallel port connection on a 4580 Fax machine. This means you can either use the I-Fax feature or print from your computer to the Fax machine - not both.
This User Guide is divided into four primary sections.
1. “Operation Overview” on page 2
2. “Network Set Up” on page 8
3. “User Interaction” on page 19
4. “Troubleshooting” on page 23
Each section will walk you through the setup and usage of this product.

To use Internet Fax

• a Network Card must be installed in the machine
• the machine must be connected to a LAN
The Network Card for this machine can be connected to a
•10 baseT or
• 10/100baseTX LAN (will only operate at 10 base T).
To make a LAN connection, the following information must be configured on this machine. Ask your network administrator about these settings.
• an IP Address
• SubnetMask
• Default Gateway
If the LAN uses a DHCP server, it is not necessary to configure these settings as the server will perform them automatically.
After setting the correct IP Address, SubnetMask and Default Gateway, configure the machine for Internet Fax transmission/ reception.

1. What Your I-Fax Machine Can Do

I-Fax is a feature with many capabilities.
This unit can:
• send and receive faxes via a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
• send and receive faxes via the Internet (over a LAN)
• print via a Local Area Network (LAN) (Windows only)
• act as an email scanner (see “Backup / Archive (Email Scanning)” on page 7
• act as a Gateway service
• act as a convenience copier
Important!
!
Internet faxes differ from traditional faxes in these ways:
Installation and setup requirements may vary from system to
!
system.

Machine Installation

Installation covers the physical procedures, such as removing the unit from the shipping packaging, connecting the power, tele­phone, and network lines, installing consumables.
Installation may be performed by anyone.
Refer to “Installation” in the User’s Guide for more information.

Network Setup

Setup covers the network installation procedures, such as estab­lishing the IP Addresses and configuring the network card.
A network administrator will perform setup.
Although your OKI-Fax has security features, faxes sent over the Internet are more vulnerable to interception than faxes sent over the PSTN.
There is no way to verify that a message has been received by the machine to which it was addressed.

2. Installation Requirements

Before the machine is used, three processes must be completed.
• Machine Installation
•Network Setup
• Customization

Customization

Customization covers the programming procedures, such as One­Touch keys, machine settings, and network settings.
You can perform some of the customization procedures. Others must be performed by a network administrator.

3. Internet Fax Transmission

General Information

To send an Internet Fax message, you need a mail server from which to send email.
Please consult your network administrator about the settings listed below, which are required in order to make a connection to the mail server.
• SMTP Server Address / Name
• DNS Server’s IP Address
•Email Address
These settings are similar to those of popular mail clients such as Netscape Messenger, Outlook and Eudora.
You can start transmission when these settings have been config­ured.
To send a fax, place a document on the machine and press the one-touch button on which the email address of the recipient has been registered; the document will be scanned into memory, con­verted into a TIFF file and sent to the recipient.

SMTP Server Address / Name

1. Enter the SMTP server name or IP Address. If entering the server’s IP Address, be sure to type the dots (full-stops) dividing the numbers. Example: 192.168.1.1
2. You may enter a server name only if a DNS server has been configured.

DNS Server’s IP ADDRESS

This setting is not required if the SMTP server has been specified by its IP ADDRESS. A DNS server can convert a server name into an IP ADDRESS.

Email Address

4. Internet Fax Reception

General Information

To receive an Internet Fax message, a mail server is required for sending email.
Please consult your network administrator about the settings listed below, which are required in order to make a connection to the mail server.
• POP Server Address / Name
• DNS Server’s IP Address
• POP Server User Name
• POP Server Password
4
The machine is ready to receive Internet Fax messages when these settings have been configured. To receive a fax message, the machine will access the server automatically at regular inter­vals according to the POP Interval Time setting.
If there is mail, the machine will print it out automatically.
This machine only receives TIFF files and text-format mail. It cannot receive files in other formats (such as Word, Excel, and certain formats of TIFF files).

POP Server Address / Name

1. Enter the POP server name or IP Address. When entering the server’s IP Address, be sure to enter the dots (full-stops) dividing the numbers. Example: 192.168.1.1
2. You may enter a server name only if a DNS server has been configured.

DNS Server’s IP Address

This setting is not required if the POP server has been specified by its IP ADDRESS. A DNS server can convert a server name into an IP ADDRESS.

5
Each item is explained below.

User’s Guide

The User’s Guide provides the information common to all con­figurations.

Warranty Document

The Warranty Document provides the warranty, service and sup­port, and Material Safety Data Sheet information for this product series.

I-Fax Option Guide

The Option Guide provides the information unique to the I-Fax configuration of the product series.

Software Utilities CD-ROM

The Software Utilities CD-ROM includes the following soft­ware:
TIFF Utility
The TIFF Utility acts as a print driver. However, instead of printing your document, the TIFF Utility converts your docu­ment to a TIFF file and automatically attaches it to an email.

7. Components of an Internet Fax

A fax sent over the Internet has three components.
•Header
•Email
• TIFF attachment(s)
Your ability to receive, view, or print these components will vary according to the settings of different functions.

Header

The header includes all routing information for the path your Internet Fax followed from the time it was sent to the time it was received.
The header is automatically generated as part of the Internet Fax­ing process.

Email

The email includes the To, From, and Date information. It may include RE: (Subject) and body text (email message).
The To, From, and Date information are automatically generated as part of the Internet Faxing process. However, they are based on information programmed by the user.
The subject and message (if used) can be determined by the user.

Attachment(s): TIFF or PDF

The TIFF or PDF attachment(s) are the “fax” part of the Internet Fax. The content of the TIFF attachments is determined by the end user. The conversion to TIFF or PDF and file handling are part of the Internet Faxing process.
6
Note: If the receiver is another OKI I-Fax device, the format must
be TIFF as the OKI devices cannot receive PDF.

8. Helpful Hints (I-Fax)

Your fax machine has many features and capabilities that will help you
• Operate the machine
• Save money
• Save time

PSTN Faxing vs. Internet Faxing

PSTN Faxing is fax communication conducted via telephone lines, with which you are probably familiar. PSTN Faxing requires telephone numbers and telephone lines.
Internet Faxing is fax communication conducted via the Internet which resembles email communications more than it does PSTN faxing. Internet Faxing requires email addresses, mail servers, Internet connections, and fax machines capable of Internet Fax­ing.

Internet Fax

Internet Fax is a term with several meanings, depending on con­text. Internet Fax can mean
• Fax communication conducted via the Internet.
• A fax machine capable of Internet Faxing.
Τhe document (fax) sent via the Internet.

Email Addresses vs. PSTN (Phone) Numbers

You can combine email addresses and telephone numbers in one communication session.
You can send a fax to several email addresses or several tele­phone numbers, or a combination of email addresses and tele­phone numbers.

Status of Server

Internet Faxing is conducted over the Internet via network serv­ers. If the servers are down, running slowly, or experiencing other problems, Internet Faxing will be adversely affected.

Backup / Archive (Email Scanning)

You can use your fax machine to create digital versions of docu­ments you only have in hardcopy form.
1. To do this, send the document as an Internet Fax to your email address.
2. When the document is scanned, a TIFF version of the document is created. By sending it to yourself, you will have a digital version of the hardcopy document.
3. You can then use various software packages to work with the digital (TIFF) version, such as an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software package.

Note: Text is not generally base64 encoded and coded text is not
supported (coded text is received, where the text in a coded condition is printed.)
- Two or more sections of text are all printed. A line (98 hyphen characters) is added between text files (including body copy) and a linefeed is created before and after the line. Between a header and a text file (including body copy), no line is added and one linefeed is inserted.
- The MIME header of the attached file is not printed.
- A blank line in the top of TEXT is eliminated in print and will not be printed.
- In Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes, there is a setting to send an Email body using HTML format. When set, the body will be sent in both TEXT and HTML. If both are received, Internet Fax will print only the TEXT portion. However, if the setting is HTML format and there is an attached HTML file, then the HTML portion will be printed, albeit with extra characters associated with HTML. When Outlook is used, please use TEXT as the sending format for printing.

• When 0.0.0.0 is set as the IP address, the DHCP function automatically starts. If a DHCP server is found, an IP address is obtained from the DHCP server.
• From then on, an IP address is obtained from the DHCP server each time the power is turned OFF and ON; therefore, it is not necessary to change the IP address. When an IP address is obtained from the DHCP server, the address is displayed and an asterisk (*) appears at the end.
• If you wish to set a fixed IP address, input the IP address (numbers). Other than the IP address, a SUBNET MASK, DEFAULT, GATEWAY, and DNS SERVER address are also obtained from the DHCP server automatically. Sometimes they cannot be obtained depending upon the setup of the DHCP server. In such a scenario, set each address one at a time.

Transmission troubleshooting

Transmission fails; a communication error occurs.
• Are the IP ADDRESS, SubNet Mask and Default Gateway settings correct?
• Has the SMTP server been configured correctly?
• If using DNS, is the DNS server address correct?
• Check to make sure that the server is not down.
• If DNS is ON, some servers may cause an error.
When one-touch key is pressed with an email address assigned, a warning message appears on the LCD.
• Has an email address been assigned on this machine?
LCD shows message “OPTION BOARD ERROR”.
• A network card I/F error has occurred - turn the power off and on again to recover.
The TIFF file sent cannot be printed out on the receiver.
• Is the file sent at EX-FINE resolution or in coding mode other than MH? I-Fax simple mode Internet Fax products support only the STD and FINE resolution settings and MH coding mode.
The Sender ID is added to the subject when transmitted?
• The Sender ID (Email) setting is ON and the subject is not entered. Either enter a Subject when sending an email or turn off the “Sender ID (Email)” on page 11.
I want to send it by PDF.
• TIFF or PDF transmission file formats are available. You can also specify the format using the Email key with every transmission. You can change the default transmission format here, “Send File Format” on page 11.

Reception troubleshooting

Reception fails; a communication error occurs.
• Are the IP ADDRESS, SubNetMask and Default Gateway settings correct?
• Has the POP server been configured correctly?
• If using DNS, is the DNS server address correct?
• Is the USER ID correct as registered on the POP server?
• Is the password correct as registered on the POP server?
24
Reception does not start.
• Has the POP interval been set to OFF? Check “POP Interval” on page 12.
• Is there a sufficient free memory space? Images have to be first stored in memory and cannot be received if there is not enough space. Have the message resent in smaller pieces if possible.
When receiving data manually, a warning message appears on the LCD.
• Are the POP server or USER ID registered?
The LCD shows message OPTION BOARD ERROR.
• A network card I/F error has occurred - turn the power off and on again to recover.
A communication error occurs during reception and a report is printed out.
• The received file is not of a format supported by this machine.
Data is sent from an email client on a PC to the Fax machine, but the reception has failed.
• Is the TIFF format used supported by this Internet Fax?
• If only a text has been sent, it will not be printed out unless the TEXT PRINT setting is ON.
• Some email clients send email using unusual formats which this fax machine cannot receive.
The fax machine prints out a large number of meaningless char­acters.
• It may be printing out a file format that the machine cannot decode. If this occurs, ask the sender to resend the fax using TEXT only format.
Communication errors occur, and service code F078 is given each time.
• The POP server password or user ID may be wrong, causing the server to return authentication errors.
Can PDF files be received?
• PDF files can be sent but cannot be received.

Authentication - Unable To Send Global E-mails

Symptom

The machine can receive emails from both inside a local net­work, and globally from outside a local network. It can send emails to anyone on the local network, but it cannot send emails to anyone outside the local network.

Cause

If all of the parameters on the T.37 have been configured prop­erly, the problem may be that the mail server requires “authenti­cation” as most mail servers can be configured to require authentication. If this is enabled on the mail server, it will pre­vent the machine from sending any global email, since the Oki T.37 card does not currently support this feature.
25

Resolution

Any changes to allow the machine to send global emails would have to be made at the mail server itself. The network adminis­trator needs to configure the mail server not to require authenti­cation from the IP address the machine has been assigned. The administrator may not want to do this for security reasons, but it is the only method available that allows the machine to send emails outside of the local LAN.

Additional Info

Many networks today use Microsoft Exchange as their mail server, with authentication enabled. Microsoft does have a white paper (Q255125) on their web site that explains how to exempt one IP address from requiring authentication. It can be found by doing a search of Microsoft's Knowledge Base at http:\\www.microsoft.com.
