OKIVIEW 32
The OKIVIEW 32 Utility provides a simple, quick way of
configuring and maintaining Oki network printers on a
Novell network. The main screen contains the OKIVIEW
Printer List of network printers. The main screen also
provides the starting point to select and manage print devices
from your PC on the network.

!
printing. Network faxing is not supported. You can print
and fax locally through the parallel port using a print
driver supplied with Unimessage Pro.

Internet - Fax Utility
The Internet - Fax Utility acts as a print driver. However,
instead of printing your document, this utility converts your
document to a TIFF file and automatically attaches it to an
e-mail. You can then send this e-mail with a TIFF attachment
to a T.37 machine.
T.37 Option Guide: English15

Components of an Internet Fax
A fax sent over the Internet has three components.
·Header
E-mail (body text)
The e-mail is the body text (e-mail message).
·e-mail (body text)
·Attachment(s): TIFF or PDF
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 To, From, and Date information.
The header may include RE: (Subject) information.
The header is automatically generated as part of the Internet
Faxing process.
The header defines the format for attachments.
OKIFAX 5780/598016
|
Attachment(s): TIFF or PDF
The attachment(s) are the “fax” part of the Internet Fax.
The content of the attachments (TIFF or PDF) is determined
by the end user.
PDF isn’t supported by the T.37 standards. Therefore,
!
you cannot send an attached PDF file to T.37 Internet
fax units.
TIFF files (Simple Mode) must be used for attachments
or you cannot successfully send to a T.37 Internet fax
unit.
What Your T.37 Internet Fax Machine Can
Do
T.37 Internet 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
·print via a Local Area Network (LAN)
·act as a network scanner
·act as a Gateway service
·act as a convenience copier
Important!
!
Internet faxes differ from traditional faxes in these
ways:
Although your OKIFAX has security features, faxes sent
over the Internet are more vulnerable to interception
than faxes sent over the PSTN.

Helpful Hints (T.37)
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. You are probably familiar with PSTN faxing. PSTN
Faxing requires telephone numbers and telephone lines.
Internet Faxing is fax communication conducted via the
Internet. It resembles e-mail communications more than it
does PSTN faxing. Internet Faxing requires e-mail 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.
·the document (fax) sent via the Internet.
OKIFAX 5780/598018
|
Status of Server
Backup / Archive (Network Scan)
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.
You can use your fax machine to create digital versions of
documents you only have in hardcopy form.
To do this, send the document as an Internet Fax to your email address. When the document is scanned, a TIFF or PDF
version of the document is created. By sending it to yourself,
you will have a digital version of the hardcopy document.
You can then use various software packages to work with the
digital (TIFF or PDF) version. An example of such a software
package is an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) package
