To configure Internet fax
With an Internet fax service, faxes are sent in e‑mail. When using DSS, the user specifies a fax
number at the device, and then the software creates and sends the e‑mail behind the scenes.
1. On the DSS server, open the Configuration Utility and click the Fax tab.
2. Select Internet Fax from the Fax Send Method drop-down list.
3. Set up the Outgoing E‑mail Server (SMTP) Gateway Server. Click the Add... button to open the
Add SMTP Gateway dialog and add the outgoing e-mail server address manually or click the
Auto Find... button to search for servers.
If, when configuring an SMTP server for send to e-mail, the checkbox labeled Fax: send faxes
when the fax send method is set to Internet Fax was checked, then those SMTP servers will
already be shown in the list of servers available for use with Internet Fax.
4. Type the domain name for the Internet fax provider into the Fax Provider Domain text box (for
example, efax.com). DSS takes the phone number that is typed at the device and then uses this
domain name to create the e‑mail (for example, [phone number]@efax.com).
5. Type a valid e‑mail address into the Default Fax Account E‑mail Address text box. The Fax
Account E-mail Address is used by third party fax service for billing purposes or as a return
address for notifications. This address is used if the check box labeled If available, use the
user's e-mail address as the Fax Account Address is not checked, or if user sign-in is not
enabled for fax. The Fax Account E-mail address is used as the "from:" address in the e-mail
sent to the fax software.
6. Enter the T37 prefix. The T37 prefix is an optional data item that may be required by some third
party fax software applications.
7. Select the default File Format from the drop-down menu.
