I have a client with 9 of these and they fax all day long to each other and 75% they will work and 25% they fail I have tried the usual IE: Ecm off and slowed it down .. but still has fax errors yes they have dedicated pots fax line, any way i am trying to find out about Ifax and can't seem to find anything in the manuals can someone please tell me where the info is on how it works and how to set it up ?? Konica's have ipfax which is easy to set up you just send to another MFP IP address and it prints out so long as it's on the same network does kyocera's do the same ?? TIA

I know iFax works through SMTP mail servers. Never had to set it up yet so I don't know much.

As for your other request about scanning direct to another device, Kyocera does do that. It's not a feature that has much documentation, but it goes like this:

You can scan to FTP to any Kyocera printer that supports PDF direct printing on a local network. The printer emulation must be set to KPDL or KPDL (Auto). At the sending device, you create an address book entry, using the Scan to FTP section. You only need to enter the IP or hostname of the printer it will be sent to, no username or password is required. The document must be scanned as a PDF for this to work.

This method also works as a make-shift color copier if a customer has a color-scanning B/W model copier and a Kyocera-made color printer. I've done this for a handful of customers over the years.

I don't have the directions for doing this, but I believe it's also possible to scan-to-email to a Kyocera printer. You have to enable SNMP on the printer and have an email address for the printer to monitor for incoming files. This would allow scanning to devices across a WAN instead of just sending within a local subnet.

Due to the nature of this business they are not allowed to send certain documents via email which is how i-Fax works I was finally able to find the documentation on the fax operations guide in adobe10 if the search is not exact it shows no documents found!! IE: ran a search for ifax showed nothing but ran search for i-Fax and it found it go figure .. any way the scan to ftp and pointing to the IP of another 5050 will do the trick we have a KM1820 scanning to a fs-5030 as ftp scan to trick it to be a color copier I have only done this once and forgot all about this ability until YOU brought it up many Thanks!!

This works on most HP's also.Km wants you think it's KM specific thing, but pretty much any modern network printer will receive the scanned print job.
