HOWTO: Configuring the HP 8100C Digital Sender with Zetafax Print ZTN1121 ID: ZTN1121 This Zetafax technical note applies to: Version 7.00.0.26 and later Summary The HP 8100c Digital Sender can be configured to use the Zetafax SMTP gateway as the 'I-fax' service provider. The 8100c submits e-mail messages to a SMTP mail server, which are then routed to the intended recipient. The Zetafax SMTP gateway acts as this server, providing a fax gateway for Internet mail messages. More information As a prerequisite you need to configure the Zetafax SMTP gateway to receive faxes addressed to a host name (e.g. fax.yourdomain.com) from your SMTP server. Ensure e-mail clients can send messages through the SMTP mail server to a fax address (e.g. 02072034000@fax.yourdomain.com) and receive a successful reply. Once these tasks are verified it is then possible to configure the 'I-fax' settings on the HP 8100c Digital Sender. Follow the instructions below to enable this: Install and configure the 8100c as per the manufacturers instructions, checking the configuration by sending an e-mail. Create an e-mail account on the SMTP mail server for the 8100c to use and enable the e-mail account as a Zetafax user on the Zetafax Server. Note: This is the account where confirmations will be sent to for all users. Enter the 'I-fax' configuration settings buy pressing 'Alt+F4' on the 8100c console. Choose 'Settings' and scroll down to 'I-fax'. Configure the following: Fax Provider Domain: Enter your fax domain name here (i.e. fax.yourdomain.com) Fax # prefix: Leave this field blank Fax Postage: Leave this field blank Fax Account E-Mail: Enter the Zetafax enabled e-mail address that is a valid return address for the receipts created in 2 above Fax File Format: Enter PDF from the list Save the settings and send a fax to test the configuration. The 8100c will send an e-mail to the SMTP mail server adding the pinned in fax number to the 'Fax domain' entered above, separated with an @, (e.g. 02072034000@fax.yourdomain.com).
