1. Getting Started
This chapter is an overview of the configuration of the remote fax function.

Remote Fax Overview

You can send and receive faxes from a machine that does not have a fax function (the sub-machine) if
you can use the remote fax function to connect to a machine that has a fax function (the main machine).

CJQ612

The procedure for sending faxes is as same as that of for the machine with the fax unit. When a job has
finished, confirm results displayed on sending history or printed on reports.
You can forward the received documents from the main-machine with facsimile function to the sub-
machine.

Functions Available for Remote Fax

You can instruct a main-machine to send a fax by displaying the [Remote Fax] screen on the sub-
machine. From the [Remote Fax] screen, you can send scanned documents to the main-machine and
instruct it to fax the document.
Remote fax transmissions are possible on a G3 line.
On the sub-machine you can also set the user tools for the remote fax function and add fax numbers to
the Address Book.

 1. Getting Started

Required Configuration
This section describes options and settings required for the remote fax function.

Options

To use the remote fax function, both the main-machine and the sub-machines must have the following
options:
• Fax connection unit
• HDD

• The main machine must have the fax function.

• A machine that has the fax function cannot be used as a sub-machine.

Settings

To use the remote fax function, you must first specify all of the machines' IP addresses or host names on
each of the machines.
The machine's IP address or host name can be specified in [Program/Change/Delete Remote Machine]
on the [Administrator Tools] tab on the System Settings menu.
Follow the procedure below.
1. Connect the sub-machine to the main-machine over the network.
For details about how to connect the machine to a network, see "Connecting the Machine",
Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.
2. In [Program/Change/Delete Remote Machine] on the main-machine, specify the IP address or the
host name of the sub-machine.
You can specify up to six sub-machines.
If you cannot register the sub-machine on the main-machine, check the sub-machine's settings. You
cannot register the sub-machine if another machine is registered in [Program/Change/Delete
Remote Machine] on the sub-machine machine.
For details about how to change the System Settings, see "Accessing User Tools", Connecting the
Machine/ System Settings.
3. In [Program/Change/Delete Remote Machine] on the sub-machine, specify the IP address or the
host name of the main-machine.

Confirming Files in Memory of a Remote Fax

Use this function to check the contents of a file that is stored in memory and not yet sent. Also, use this
function to cancel a transmission from the sub-machine.
You can check these files as you check standard faxes.
For details about confirming files in memory, see "Confirming Files in Memory", Fax.

 Printing Received Documents from the Sub-Machine

Printing Received Documents from the Sub-

Machine
You can forward or route received documents from the main-machine equipped with a facsimile
function. By registering the sub-machine without a facsimile function as a forwarding destination, you
can print received documents from the sub-machine.
For example, you can make the main-machine forward the documents for the sales department to the
sales department's machine, and forward the documents for the personnel division to the personnel
division's machine. The sales department's machine and the personnel division's machine print the
documents individually.
To forward or route received documents, in the Facsimile Features menu on the main-machine equipped
with a facsimile function, configure the forwarding or routing settings in advance.
You can forward or route received documents per line or sender.

If you use [Remote Reception Setting per Line]

On the main-machine, you can specify a sub-machine to print documents received over a G3 line.
Sub-machines that you can specify are machines using the Remote Fax function.
For details about how to change the Facsimile Features, see "Accessing User Tools", Connecting the
Machine/ System Settings.

6. Press [OK].
7. Press [Exit] twice.

If you use [Remote Reception Setting per Sender]

If this function is enabled and documents are received, they are forwarded to a specified sub-machine.
Register a special sender in [Program Special Sender] in the Facsimile Features menu, and then set
[Remote Reception Setting] to [On]. Specify the sub-machine as an end receiver in [Remote Machine].
