A METHOD FOR SENDING A COPY OF A FAX FROM AN MULTI-FUNCTION PERIPHERAL DEVICE TO A COMPUTER CONNECTED THROUGH A NETWORK FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING

摘要

The invention explains a method for sending a copy of a fax from a Multi-Functional peripheral (MFP)device to a computer connected through a network for continuous monitoring of the said MFR usage comprising the steps of: checking the operation mode of the device whether it is in transmission mode (TX operation) or in the receiving mode (RX operation), where the TX operation involves: dialing the destination fax number; scanning the required document; sending the scanned data to a pre-configured network PC where a program is running to receive the data; sending the fax to the dialed number if the scanned data is send successfully to the networked PC; and discarding the fax if data is not sent successfully to network PC, wherein the RX operation involves: receiving the fax from the sending machine; storing the fax in the memory of the MFO; sending the stored data to a pre-configured network PC where a program is running to receive the data; printing the fax if data is sent successfully to the PC; and discarding the fax if data is not sent successfully to network PC.
