Major features of OfficeBridge
Internet fax transmission and reception
N A fax can be transmitted and received via the Internet.
The internet fax function contributes to savings on communication costs, especially for long-distance
and overseas fax transmissions.
N Transmission to an ordinary e-mail address is also possible.

PC-FAX transmission
N When sending a document composed on a PC by fax, it can be transmitted directly from the PC with no
need of a printout copy, keeping a high image quality with no deterioration.
N Direct transmission saves consumption of paper, which is otherwise needed to print a copy only for fax
transmission.

PC-FAX reception
N A message received by the fax main unit can be downloaded into a PC without printing, and printout
can be limited to only the message truly needing it. Paper consumption can be reduced by not printing
unimportant incoming messages. Circulation of a received fax can be handled easily from a PC.

Received fax forwarding
N Based on a preset condition like the sender’s fax number, a received fax meeting this condition can be
forwarded to the designated user PC.
N Because an e-mail address can be specified as the forwarding destination, a person away from the office
can receive a message simply by checking for e-mail arrival if carrying a mobile computer.
N A received fax can be stored and managed as electronic data, which eliminates concerns about paper
filing locations and space. Integrated data management is possible if a shared folder is produced on the
network.
