Server Fax scans your documents and sends them to any type of fax machine that is connected to a telephone network. Your images are sent from your printer to a Third Party fax server that relays them over the telephone network to the fax number of your choice. This means that your fax transmissions are controlled by the server, which may limit your faxing options. For example, the server may be set-up to collect and send all faxes at off peak times.
NOTE: All WorkCentre models can be configured for Server Fax. If the printer contains an embedded fax card it still can be configured for Server Fax, but you cannot use the embedded fax and server fax simultaneously. The server that is running the fax software would contain the fax card. The printer sends the scanned image and fax numbers to a fax repository on the fax server via the network, the fax server retrieves the image and the fax numbers, and then transmits the fax.
