MXFWX1 and MXFWX1L install and use

[AeroX]

There are two drivers from Sharp USA for Windows. One for printing and one for PC Fax. A third is needed specifically for MX-MFWX1 (I-Fax). This last driver allows for internet destinations input from the PC. It normally comes on the CD-ROM with the kit. I was finally able to locate it on the Sharp German and UK download sites.

The Internet Fax Kit is for sending faxes another Sharp MFD on the network with the Internet Fax Kit installed as well.
You are using the clients network to send a fax via the network, not a phone line.
Very handy for those organizations who send a lot of faxes.....internally. Suddenly you no longer need phone line rental or costs per fax send.

Success! After locating the driver update from sharp.de, I was able to fax from a PC through the MFP using an internet fax service (smartfax.com). Since our email host is Office 365, I had to bypass their new TLS 1.2 requirement and setup a smarthost through smtp2go to make it work. No more analog phone line required and we are able to track our faxes via user control reports for cost accounting purposes. The next step is to update the MFP firmware so I won't have to use smtp2go.

Sharp really need to include this driver update on sharpusa.com.

So it is possible to install a MX-FWX1 Kit and set up a new Internet-Fax Button on the Display, so it looks just as a regular Fax?
Can i then setup a smtp or use the regular smtp setting to send a Email to @fax.com?

Like i use the Internet-Fax button,1.png type in the faxnumber and hit send?
in the background i setup the suffix @fax.com in the Internet-fax Settings?

i dont want to use a PC, its just a Copy/Fax Machine MX-2651 + MX-FWX1

and what is the "MXFWX1L"?
