Using the Forward TX function

Forward TX is a function that transfers a received fax, Internet fax, or IP address fax to a pre-specified destination.

Faxes can be forwarded to personal e-mail addresses or saved in a shared folder in a computer. Received faxes can be converted to files that can be handled by a computer, which saves printing costs.

  • If the forwarding destination is not a fax address, the received fax can be converted in the specified file format to be forwarded to a destination. The file types able to be specified are PDF, XPS, and TIFF.
    Other file types can be specified only for the first line. To specify other file types, ask your service representative to configure settings. For details, contact your service representative.

  • This function cannot be used together with the following functions.
    PC-Fax RX, TSI Routing, Memory RX

  • When multiple lines are used, you can select [Fax Settings] - [TX/RX Settings] - [Individual Receiving Line Setup] in the administrator mode to enable the Forward TX function for each line.
