Ricoh MPC 3500 forwarding faxes to email in a pdf ?

[Rick]

I have this machine set to forward faxes to email but it sends them in a tiff . Is there a way to change this to pdf instead? I looked high and low and dont see where to do this.

I think you can not send fax-to-email in PDF.
If You really need fax in PDF you can do fax-to-folder. To make it work you need to change swith 21 bit 3 (Parameter Setting)

Even though the manual says this switch is for fax to folder, it also works with forwarding to email. I don't know why they don't specify this with an update.

How do I specify the file format when sending received faxes to an e-mail or a folder?
Answer
It is possible to convert a TIFF file to PDF format when transferring a document received by fax to a PC folder or e-mail address.
Here, we will describe how to change the file format of a document received by fax.
Note

• It is necessary to have already made the settings for transferring fax documents to a shared folder on a PC or an e-mail address.

1. Press the [User Tools/Counter/Inquiry] button.

1. Press [Facsimile Features].

1. On the [Initial Settings] tab, press [Parameter Setting].

1. Press switch [21].

1. Press bit [3]. Switch: 21, Bit: 3
   File format for files forwarded to e-mail destinations or folder destinations.
   0: TIFF
   1: PDF

1. Confirm that the value for bit [3] is selected as required, and then press [OK].

1. Press [Exit].

1. Press [Exit] in [Facsimile Features].

1. Press [Exit] in [User Tools/Counter/Inquiry].

Teebee is right, but some models can only fax forward as a tiff to email.

Fortunately, this model can do tiff or pdf.

If you have access to a publication called "GEN-078", this will list which models do and don't support the option.

I can't post that bulletin here without getting my hiney in hot water.

Like, oops!

It turns out that, at least according to the bulletin, that this model DOES NOT support fax forwarding to email as a pdf; I was thinking it did.

Here is a section of the bulletin describing that. (I think I can do that without angering the copyright gods.):

I currently have 2550 ricoh and even though fax parameters 21/3 is set to 1 it's still forwarding incoming faxes only in .tiff. What gives... ?

Is the default for a direct "scan to email" on the machine set to PDF? According to the manual, and my experience, the bit switch only applies to folders. Fax forwarding.pdf
