Hello,

I recently received this question and to my shock reps seem not to be aware of this. So, just in case the reps are not aware of this, I wanted to share it with everyone.

Anyway, we can now forward incoming faxes to either e-mail or a folder location ... essentially any location in the MFPs address book. Faxes forwarded to e-mail will have to remain in .TIFF format. However (drum roll please), we can now forward faxes to a folder location in .PDF format. This is something Sharp claims to have ... little do they know, we have it too. All we need to do is change a Parameter Switch setting in User Tools.

File Format for Fax Forwarding:
By default, when these systems have the Fax Option installed, they can now forward fax receptions to the following locations (system must also be configured with the Print/Scan Kit):
Any Address Book location: E-mail or folder
By default these systems will forward the attachment as a .TIFF file format. When sent to e-mail the file format will remain .TIFF.
Follow these steps to have the attached faxes sent as .PDF file format to folder locations.
Press [User Tools]
Press [Facsimile Features]
Press [Administrator Tools]
Select [Parameter Settings]
Switch 21, Bit 3 by default is set to (0), TIFF format. Change this setting to (1) for PDF.

Great news!!! It's always great to have options. However most of the times I sell the fact that Tiffs can be viewed as a slide show, if they are pdfs, you have to open each one just to see what it is, which takes time. Aside from maintaining the integrity of the file, are their other benefits to having them as pdfs?


Only thing that I could see as a benefit to PDF would be the ability to do simple annotations using the free text tool available in the full version of Acrobat.
