Setting up the fax function using fax server

Configure the printer for you to send and receive fax messages using the fax server.
  • This feature lets you send fax messages to a fax service provider that supports e‑mail receiving.
  • This feature supports outgoing fax messages only. To support fax receive, make sure that you have a device‑based fax, such as analog fax, etherFAX, or Fax over IP (FoIP), configured in your printer.
  1. Open a web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
    • View the printer IP address on the home screen. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
    • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the web page correctly.
