I-Fax communication on a LAN is very similar to communication via email; however, it is different from fax communication using standard phone lines. Make sure you read the following information about using I-Fax:

  • Factors such as the receiver's location, structure of the LAN and how busy the circuit (such as the Internet) is may cause the system to take longer than usual to send an error mail.
  • When sending confidential documents, we recommend using standard phone lines instead of the Internet (due to its low level of security).
  • If the receiver's mail system is not MIME-compatible, you cannot use I-Fax to send documents. If possible, check this in advance, and note that some servers will not send an error reply.
  • If a document is too large to send via I-Fax, it may not reach the receiver.
  • You cannot change the font or size of the text in any Internet mail you receive.
