Fax over the Internet

You may subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and receive
faxes with your device by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet
Protocol (FoIP). You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone
company) if you:

Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or

Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone
ports for the fax connection.

NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the
port labeled "1-LINE" on the device. This means that your connection to the
Internet must be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular
analog phone jacks for fax connections) or your telephone company.

Some Internet faxing services do not work properly when the device is sending and
receiving faxes at high speed (33600bps). If you experience problems sending and
receiving faxes while using an Internet fax service, use a slower fax speed. You can
do this by changing the Fax Speed setting from High (the default) to Medium. For
information on changing this setting, see

.

If you have questions about internet faxing, contact your internet faxing services
support department.
