Internet Fax

What is the benefit?

You can save time and money by usingthe Internet Fax feature. You can send fax message to anywhere in the world without making an international telephone call. The Internet Fax feature provides you not only simple sending and receiving of fax messages but forwarding or broadcasting fax messages.

Fax transmissions go through the Internet transported via E-Mail. You can select already programmed addresses from one touch/speed dial locations, or enter text using dial pad by pressing Shift + [1].

Receiving Internet Fax

When your Brother MFC is used on the network it is capable of receiving Internet Faxes from other Internet Fax machines.

E-mail and Fax Forwarding

Received E-Mail and fax messages can be forwarded to other Fax machine via standard telephone lines, PC or Internet Fax via E-mail. This function can be configured using the Web management Utility or through the front panel. (Please see your MFC User guide to check that this function is supported. This function is only for monochrome models.)

Relayed Broadcasting

The Relay Broadcasting feature allows the Brother MFC in conjunction with the optional NC-8100H Print/Fax Server to be used as a Relay Station, allowing users to send a document as an E-Mail attachment (Tiff-f file format) from either a Brother MFC or PC over the Internet to another Brother MFC, which can then relay that message to up to 48 G3 fax machines over conventional telephone lines.

Relay Broadcasting requires the Brother MFC be connected to an E-mail Server on a LAN that is connected directly to the Internet. The E-mail server must support both the SMTP and POP3 protocols.

To prevent unauthorized use of the Relay Broadcast function, the Brother MFC it needs to be configured in such a way that only certain "trusted" domains can Relay Broadcast through the FAX/MFC. To use this function, you must specify the domain names that you trust to use the MFC. If your E-Mail address is jack@brother.co.uk, your domain name can be identified as "brother.co.uk."
