Internet Communication Features
Internet Fax Transmission
The DX-2000 allows you to transmit documents over the Internet to another Internet Fax or a PC.  The document
is first scanned and converted into a TIFF-F formatted image file, and then transmitted to the remote location as
an attachment file to an email using MIME encoding.
The email system at the receiving end must suppor t MIME.  Otherwise, the attachment file will be detached and
lost.
When you send an email message to someone, the DX-2000 uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to
transfer your outgoing mail to your SMTP mail server, which in turn uses SMTP to send your mail to the Internet. 
Internet Mail Reception
The DX-2000 allows you to receive and print a PC transmitted email automatically or manually, depending on its
setup configuration.  However, if the received email includes file attachment in a format other than TIFF-F, such
as Word, Excel, Power Point, the DX-2000 prints an error message instead.

Inbound Routing
Using the Inbound Routing feature, the DX-2000 can route documents received from a G3 fax machine to email
address(s) or to Internet Fax machine(s) connected to a LAN as an email, as well as to other G3 fax machine(s)
over the telephone line.
When an incoming Internet Fax, email or a regular fax document is received, the DX-2000, checks for the
following:
1. First, the DX-2000 checks whether a sub-address is included.  If it is, it will look for a sub-address match within
its auto dialer and will route the documents to the corresponding stations email address(s) and/or telephone
number(s).
2. If no sub-address is specified, then the DX-2000 tries to match the originating fax machine’s Numeric ID (TSI)
with the TSI routing within its auto dialer and will route the documents to the corresponding stations email
address(s) and/or telephone number(s).
 (see Note 1)  (see Note 2)
1. If the originating fax machine does not support the above sub-address function, sub-address destination(s) cannot
be selected.
2. The DX-2000 will allow you to register the same sub-address number for an email address and a telephone number.

Fax Forward
The DX-2000 is capable of transferring all received Internet email or regular G3 fax documents to a pre-
programmed G3 fax or a PC destination.
Network Scanner
The DX-2000 can be utilized as a network scanner by simply transmitting an image to a PC as TIFF-F attachment
to an email.
This feature was enhanced with an addition of a new Fax Parameter No. 164 (IFAX XMT HEADER), giving you a
selection of whether to include the header when sending a document to an addressee in the same Domain as
specified in the Default Domain parameter. (See Note 1)
 (see Note 1)
1. When sending to a Domain other than as specified in the Default Domain parameter, the header will be included
regardless of the selection.

Network Printer
The DX-2000 can be utilized as a network printer by simply sending the documents created on your PC using
various software applications to the DX-2000 via TCP/IP protocol.
There a two par ts to setting up the DX-2000 as a network printer.  Part 1 requires you to download the software
(printer driver and LPR) from the web site listed below.
The second par t requires you to install and configure the software on your PC to work with the DX-2000.  (See
the web site for details about the printer driver installation and operation.)
You can download the Panasonic’s printer driver and LPR monitor from any of the following URL addresses:

Relayed Transmission
The DX-2000 allows you to transmit an email received from an Internet Fax or PC connected to the LAN to
multiple fax machines via a telephone line.  You can attach files with the TIFF-F format to this email.
Using the Sub-address specified by the originating fax machine, the DX-2000 can then route the received
documents to the remote DX-2000 via an email, which can then relay these documents to final destinations
where the final recipient is a regular G3 fax machine.
The DX-2000 also allows you to convert a data file from various application programs such as spreadsheet into a
TIFF-F format file and then transmit this file attached to an email.
To conver t applications into a TIFF-F formatted file, however, requires you to first download the software (printer
driver) from the web site listed below.  The second par t requires you to install the software on your PC.  (See the
web site for details about the printer driver installation and operation.)

Important Information
The DX-2000 uses the same communication protocols as email: the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).  The
differences from a standard G3 fax communication using the Public Telephone Network (PSTN) are as follows.
Differences between Internet Fax and Regular Fax
A regular Fax machine goes off-hook, dials, and the phone network completes a circuit over phone lines to the
receiving fax.  You pay for the circuit.  The two faxes negotiate a connection, synchronize and exchange image
data.
The Internet Fax works like an email, the image data is broken down into packets and transmitted through your
Local Area Network (LAN) to the Internet or Intranet instead of using a telephone company’s network, thus saving
you long distance costs.
Transmitted Document Confirmation
1. The DX-2000 does not directly connect to the final destination, but rather connects to a Mail Server via LAN.
Therefore, if a document cannot be correctly transmitted due to an error, the erroneous mail may be returned
from the Mail Server to the DX-2000.
2. The erroneous mail may take a long time to return (20 to 30 minutes) depending on the destination location,
traffic on the network or LAN system configuration.
3. Depending on the Mail Server, it is also possible that erroneous mail is not returned at all.  Therefore, when
transmitting important or time sensitive documents, it is recommended that you follow up with a telephone call
to confirm reception.
4. Documents cannot be transmitted correctly if the destination Mail Server does not conform to the MIME
protocol.  Erroneous mail may not be returned depending on the Mail Server.
DX-2000 Cannot Make a Phone Call via LAN
The DX-2000 can only make a phone call using a regular telephone line (PSTN).
Dual Port Communication
The DX-2000’s dual port capability, allows simultaneous G3 Fax Communication over regular telephone line
(PSTN) and LAN Communicar tion.
Transmission Resolution 
In view of PC transmission, the factory default setting for the resolution is set to FINE mode.  If required, this
setting can be changed to Normal.
Internet Mail Reception
1. The DX-2000 can receive text email from a PC and print ANSI characters.  It will print a 
 symbol if an
unrecognized character is received.
2. Received email font and character size are fixed and cannot be changed.
3. Text email will be printed at about 72 lines per page.  It is recommended that you use A4/Letter size recording
paper.
4. If the received text email includes a file attachment in a format other than TIFF-F, such as Word, Excel, Power
Point, the DX-2000 prints an error message instead.
5. If the received email includes attached TIFF-F formatted image files, the text and TIFF-F formatted image file
will be printed on separate pages. 
						

							25
Sending Document Size via LAN
When transmitting via LAN, the transmitter is incapable of identifying the receiver’s recording paper size
capability, and thus it will not reduce the document size.  Therefore, when transmitting via LAN, it is
recommended that you use only A4/Letter size documents.  If a B4 size document is transmitted and the receiver
is only able to print A4 size, the communication will fail when the Fax Parameter No. 141 (LAN XMT
REDUCTION) is set to 1:Invalid.  (See page 74.)
Sending a Document to a PC via LAN
When transmitting a document to an email address, the following instructions are sent as text message in
addition to the TIFF-F formatted image file.
An Image data in TIFF-F format has been attached to this email. You can download the TIFF-F Image Viewer
from the following URL addresses:
http://www.panasonic.co.jp/mgcs/internetfax/
http://www.panasonic.com/internetfax/
Internet Relayed Transmission
To prevent unauthorized stations from accessing your Relay Station for Internet Relayed Transmission, you must
set up your Network security.  Enter a Relay Station Name, which is concealed from the final destinations and a
Manager’s Email Address for notification of all Internet Relayed Transmissions.
