The Internet Fax enables your machine to transmit the document through the Internet or Intranet. This enables the machine to transmit the document as an E-mail between other Internet
Fax machines and computers.
2.Features
The Internet Fax Unit has following features.
Sending a document as an E-mail through the Internet:
This machine can send a document as an E-mail through the Internet. The scanned image is
transferred to the TIFF images and sent as attached file of an E-mail.
Automatic receiving and manual receiving of an E-mail:
This machine can automatically or manually check the email server to see whether an E-mail
has been delivered. If an E-mail has been received, the machine will print out the E-mail.
73 one touch key to E-mail:
The remote party’s E-mail address data can be registered to a one touch key. E-mail options
can be registered for each address.
300 abbreviated dial numbers to E-mail:
E-mail addresses can be assigned to 300 abbreviated dial numbers in the range from No. 001
to 999.
Multi-address transmission function to E-mail:
Transmissions of the same document to multiple E-mail addresses (up to 373 addresses) are
possible using one operation sequence, in which preset abbreviated dial numbers (300), and
one touch dial keys (73) can be used. When the multi-key is specified, key pad dialing of up to
1000 digits, or 100 locations, is also possible.
Relay transmission to E-mail (Onramp Gateway Transmission):
The DP120F/DP125F can serve as a relay station in relay transmission transactions to E-mail
address end stations.
Offramp Gateway Transmission:
The DP120F/DP125F can be used as a Hub Station to forward E-mails from your client computer or Internet Fax machine to the any facsimiles through the public switched telephone
network.
The E-mail that cannot be printed by the machine can be forwarded to another E-mail address .
Supporting DSN (Delivery Status Notification):
Transmission result is retrieved from received DSN message and stored into Activity Report as
a transmission report. This machine automatically print the DSN message.
An MDN request is added in the mail header of E-mails. If the machine receives the image
data which exceeds the capability of this machine, the machine responds with a failure in the
MDN message back to the original sender.
Additional Functions:
Enables to configure the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) login name and the password for the
LAN-FAX utility, and frame type for the Novell communication, etc.
Before connecting the network, read this section to understand the Internet Fax functions.
3.1 POP and SMTP
The available functions depend on whether this machine is set up to use the POP or SMTP for
retrieving E-mail from a mail server.
POP (Post Office Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):
“SMTP” is a server protocol for sending E-mail messages between servers. Usually the
E-mail systems that transfer E-mails ov er the Internet use SMTP to send messages from
one server to another. Then the E-mail message can be retrieved with an E-mail client
using either “POP” or “IMAP”. “POP” is a protocol used to retrieve E-mail from a mail
server.
When this machine use POP for the Receive Mode:
This machine works as a POP client (MUA). Similar to most e-mail applications, this
machine use POP for receiving an E-mail message and SMTP for sending an E-mail
message.
When this machine use SMTP for the Receive Mode:
This machine works as one of the mail servers (MTA). The machine can transfer an Email message in the SMTP transmission.
The following table shows the available functions according to the type of the protocols set for
the Receive Mode.

If the use of the Offramp Gateway function is not necessary, it is recommended that the Receive Mode is set to “POP” because some settings will be required to be set on the mail server
if the Receive Mode is set to “SMTP”. For more information about the Offramp Gateway
function, see “Chapter 3 FUNCTION SETTINGS - Offramp Gateway Setup”.
Transmission using the Internet Fax function are the same as E-mail transmissions. Before
you start to use the Internet Fax function, it is recommended that you read this section and
understand the precautions for Internet Transmission.
•The Internet Fax sends a document to the email server of Internet and it does not send via
the PSTN alike regular facsimile transmissions.
•An error mail is sent back from the mail server when the E-mail document fails to be forwarded to the recipient.
•An error mail sometimes is not sent back even if the E-mail has failed. It is highly recommended to confirm that the document has been received by the recipient.
•The Internet transmission has low security. It is recommended that you use regular facsimile transmission when a confidential document is sent.
•It may take a considerable amount of time for the recipient to receive the document because of the line traffic in the Internet.
•If the document being transmitted has a large amount of data it may not be successfully
sent due to the configuration of the E-mail server.
3.3 Confirmed E-mail Server
The following table shows the list of E-mail servers suppor ted with the Inter net Fax kit.
The following is an overview of the various transmissions that can be performed using the
Internet Fax function.
4.1 Internet Fax to Internet Fax
The machine can send a document to another Internet Fax machine through the Internet or
Intranet. The document is sent as an E-mail to the Inter net Fax machine.
Fig. 4-1-1
4.2 Internet Fax to/from Client Computer s
The machine can send a document to the client computers through the Internet or Intranet.
The client computers can send the E-mail to the machine as well.
Fig. 4-2-1
NOTE:
•The client computer receives TIFF-FX images when the machine sends a document
using the Internet Fax function.
•The machine can only print out text files and the TIFF-FX images. When sending E-mail
from the client computer to this machine using the E-mail application, files other tan text
or TIFF-FX images cannot be sent.
Using the Internet Fax function, E-mail addresses can be assigned to the ITU-T Mailbox in this
machine. Theref ore, the ITU-T F-code compliant f acsimiles can send the document to the ITUT Mailbox in this machine and this machine forwards the received document to E-mail recipients assigned to the Mailbox using the relay function.
Fig. 4-3-1
NOTE:
•Documents sent as an Internet Fax will be received as a TIFF-FX image on the client
computer.
For further details about the Onramp Gateway, see “Setup Flow - Onramp Gateway Setup”.
4.4 Offramp Gateway Transmission
The machine can forward received E-mail documents to any facsimile through the public telephone line using Offramp Gateway transmission. If another Internet Fax machine or client
computer sends a document to the Internet Fax machine through the Internet or Intranet, then
the Internet Fax machine can forward the document to another facsimile through the PSTN.
Fig. 4-4-1
NOTE:
•To operate in this transmission, the machine must be set up to enable SMTP transmission. It is also required to configure the some settings on the mail server on your network .
•Documents sent as an Internet Fax will be received as a TIFF-FX image on the client
computer.
For further details about the Onramp Gateway, see “ Setup Flow - Offramp Gateway Setup”.

when programming One Touch Key or
Abbreviated Numbers. By pressing this
key prior to a transmission, an E-mail
address can be entered for an Internet
Fax transmission.
NOTES:•If the Receive Mode is set to "SMTP", the machine use the
ESMTP for forwarding and receiving I-FAX messages. If the
forward MTA does not support the ESMTP, this machine
changes the protocol to the SMTP.
•If the Request DSN is set to OFF, this machine use the SMTP to
forward the I-FAX message.

The limitations for operating the Internet Fax functions are described below.
a. The machine can print the files of text format or TIFF-FX f ormat. Therefore, Any E-mail sent
to the Internet Fax should contain only the body text in text for mat and attached files in
TIFF-FX format. Also, when the body text fo an E-mail is sent to the Internet Fax in html
format, the Internet Fax prints out the html source of the html message.
b. The machine can print only the TIFF-FX images whose resolution is either 200x100, 200x200,
200x400, or 400x400.
c. The parallel interface of the machine is disabled when the optional Internet Fax unit is
installed to the machine.
d. The Offramp Gateway transmission to the international call cannot be performed.
e. The Offramp Gatewa y tr ansmission to the multiple destinations cannot be performed. If the
machine receives the Offramp Gateway E-mail to several destinations, this machine for-
wards the facsimile to only the first fax number.
f. If the mail server does not support the ESMTP, the DSN request has been denied.
g. This machine can be used as a mail server to enable the Offramp Gateway transmission.
However, this machine does not support a full MTA ser vice.
