Forwarding/transferring

French translation: renvoi/transfert

Computers: Hardware / Imprimantes multifonctions-Fonction e-mail
English term or phrase: Forwarding/transferring
Je traduis actuellement le manuel portant sur les fonctions fax d'une imprimante multifonction et plus précisemment sur les fonctions de Fax Internet. J'ai un pb avec la traduction des termes "forward" et "transfer" qui semblent couvrir deux notions différentes. Je comprends la notion sous-tendue par "forward" qui est classique dans un système de messagerie (transfert de mail), mais pour "transfer", je ne comprends pas.
Contexte :
Transfer : "The machine can transfer received documents by using SUB Codes.
Originals sent with a SUB Code that matches the SUB Code programmed as a Transfer Box are received
then relayed to the programmed receiver."

Forward : This machine can forward received documents to other destinations programmed in this machine.

Merci pour votre aide

French translation:renvoi/transfert
Explanation:
D'après le contexte "forward" concerne des documents qui ont déjà été reçus et que l'on va donc "faire suivre" à d'autres personnes, d'où l'idée de "renvoi". Le GDT parle également de "réacheminement".
Pour "transferring", je serais d'avis de garder l'idée de transfert simple ou d'envoi.
