Setting up a Ricoh 2500 Multi-function to email faxes...

This post is more for my future reference than anything but if it helps someone out then great.....
After much hair pulling with a couple of "techs" we finally got our new Ricoh 2500 setup to only distribute incoming faxes by email and not print them out.
It is a multi-step process that seems to be a lot more complicated than it needs to be. The first step is to get the general smtp and fax settings properly. This can be tested by scanning a document and sending it to an email address. Next set up the email address in the address book for the destination address that you want to send the faxes to. For example fax@somedomain.com. The destination address must be a valid email or distribution list address that can receive email with attachments. The next setting changes are only available in the fax machine, for some reason they are nowhere to be found in the web management interface. The first setting is to enable the forwarding functions. Access it by User Mode/Settings > Fax Features > Forwarding. Highlight the "On" setting then "Ok" Next setup the destination for forwarding, this is the important part. Choose to display destination list and select the destination address that was setup in the previous step. Click "ok" The last steps are to prevent faxes from printing. Go to Fax Parameter Settings and select Electronic Output in the Destination Type Priority option. Finally the parameter setting in the machine itself for "Printing Memory Transfer Files" has to be turned off. Its SW11 option 6. Now all faxes should forward off to email and not print anymore!
