■ Direct SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is used to transfer mail reliably and efficiently. An important feature of SMTP is
its capability to transport mail across networks, usually referred to as SMTP mail relay by employing SMTP server.
Direct SMTP allows you to transmit documents to another Internet Fax directly without using an SMTP server. For this
feature to work reliably, the IP Address should remain unchanged (ask your Network Administrator to reserve the IP
Address). The Domain Name of the machines and other record information must be properly registered in the DNS
server.
Furthermore, in common cases only email and web service from the Internet are permitted into the corporate intranet,
and corporate network administrators are extremely unwilling to open the firewall for other, incoming services, since
each opened path represents additional, potential security threats.
This makes Direct SMTP attractive because it can operate throughout the organization's Intranet.
■ Internet Mail Reception
Your machine allows you to receive and print a PC transmitted email automatically or manually, depending on its setup
configuration. However, if the received email includes a file attachment in a format other than TIFF-F, such as PDF,
JPEG, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, your machine prints an error message instead.
