Overview

The LDAP protocol allows you to search for information such as fax numbers and E-mail addresses from your
server. When you use the Fax, I-Fax or Scan to E-mail server features, you can use the LDAP search to find
fax numbers or E-mail addresses.
Every E-mail program has a personal address book, but how do you look up an address for someone who's
never sent you an E-mail? How can an organization keep one centralized up-to-date phone book that
everybody has access to? The solution is to have LDAP. LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, is an
Internet protocol that E-mail and other programs use to look up information from a directory server on your
network. So, instead of having to write in the recipients E-mail address or have to find it from another source,
you can search for it using LDAP direct from the control panel of the multifunction machine.
