Fax Forward
This feature enables the device to send incoming fax jobs to one or more E-mail addresses, a
repository, or a combination of both.
Note: In order to enable the Fax Forwarding feature the device must have either Workflow
Scanning or E-mail enabled and Fax must be installed and enabled.
Fax Forward is set-up by the System Administrator using Internet Services. The incoming fax jobs which
require forwarding are specified using their fax number. An E-mail address and/or repository is then
entered as the forwarding address for the fax jobs specified.
• Fax Forward to E-mail - the fax job is forwarded to an E-mail address as an attachment.
Information to include in the E-mail, such as the subject or a message can also be entered during
set-up. When the user receives a forwarded fax in their E-mail, it will be either a single E-mail or
multiple E-mails depending upon the size of the job.
• Fax Forward to a Repository - the fax job is forwarded to an SMB file share repository. The fax job
is stored using the parameters specified by the System Administrator. An E-mail notification can
be set-up to notify the user that the fax job has been stored and is ready for retrieval. The user
then accesses the file server to retrieve the stored forwarded fax document.
The System Administrator specifies the file format type to use for the fax job, the supported types are:
• Image only PDF
•Searchable PDF
• Multiple page TIFF
• Image only XPS
•Searchable XPS
The feature can also be set-up to print a copy of the fax at the device prior to forwarding.
If the forwarded fax job fails to reach its destination, the device can be set-up to print a copy of the
received document or notify the user the job has failed.
