SENDING AND RECEIVING CONFIDENTIAL FAXES The confidential function allows you to send and receive confidential faxes. When a fax is sent by confidential transmission, it is held in the memory (confidential box) of the receiving machine instead of being printed out. The fax can only be printed out when the recipient enters a confidential ID code. This function is convenient when you need to send or receive sensitive documents, or when several departments share the same fax machine.
ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION Before sending a confidential fax, make sure that the receiving machine has the confidential reception function and that it is programmed appropriately to receive confidential faxes. If the receiving machine has more than one box for confidential reception, you will need to contact the receiving party in advance for the appropriate box number. 1 Touch the [SPECIAL MODES] key, the key, and then the [SENDING OPTIONS] key.
ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS PRINTING A FAX RECEIVED IN A CONFIDENTIAL BOX To print a fax received in a confidential box, you must enter the ID code (a 4-digit number from 0000 to 9999) that was programmed when the confidential box was created. Note 1 • When a fax is received in a confidential box, a transaction report is printed to inform you. To set print conditions for transaction reports, see "TRANSACTION REPORT PRINT SELECT SETTING" on page 98.
SENDING FAXES USING THE RELAY REQUEST FUNCTION The relay request function is used to send a fax to a relay fax machine, and then have the relay fax machine send the fax to mulitple end receiving machines. Relay request machine (original sender of document) 1 Relay machine The document is sent from the relay request machine 2 S.F.
ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS USING THE RELAY REQUEST FUNCTION A relay request transmission is performed by specifying the relay group and then performing a regular fax transmission. Only one relay group can be specified. A relay request will be refused if an end receiving machine is specified that is not stored in the relay machine. 1 Touch the [SPECIAL MODES] key , the key, and then the [SENDING OPTIONS] key.
4 Chapter 4 TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES This chapter explains F-code transmission, which gives you a convenient means of performing advanced operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission. Normally these functions require that the other fax machine be a similar Sharp machine; however, F-code transmission enables these functions to be performed with any other machine that supports F-code transmission.
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES MEMORY BOXES AND SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a "memory box" in the unit's memory. The memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another machine polls that machine. Up to 10 memory boxes can be created for each operation type, and a name can be assigned to each box.
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES ENTERING A SUB-ADDRESS AND PASSCODE FOR A MEMORY BOX IN THE OTHER MACHINE When transmitting to a memory box in another fax machine, the sub-address and passcode must be entered after the other machine's fax number. Enter the other machine's fax number as explained for a normal transmission (p.12) or for a polling operation (p.33), and then enter the sub-address and passcode as follows: 1 Dial the fax number of the other machine, or touch a rapid key.
F-CODE POLLING MEMORY F-code polling memory allows one fax machine to call another fax machine and initiate reception of a document that has been scanned into the other machine's F-code polling memory box. Calling another machine and initiating reception is called F-code polling, and scanning a document into a memory box for another machine to retrieve by polling is called F-code polling memory.
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES USING F-CODE POLLING MEMORY In order for another machine to retrieve a document from your machine, you must first scan the document into the F-code polling memory box. You can check the document in the memory polling box by printing it out. Caution When using F-code polling memory, do not set the reception mode to manual reception. Scanning a document into an F-code polling memory box The procedure for scanning a document into an F-code polling memory box (p.
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES PROCEDURE FOR F-CODE POLLING Make sure that a document has not been placed in the RSPF or on the document glass, and then follow the steps below. Note 1 • You must know the sub-address (SEP) and passcode (PWD) of the other machine's F-code polling memory box. • Serial polling (selecting multiple fax machines to be polled using a group key or by touching the [NEXT ADDRESS] key) is not possible with F-code polling.
F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION This function is used to fax confidential documents. The sub-address and passcode programmed for a memory box restricts access to the box, and received data can only be printed by someone who knows the print PIN. (Personal Identification Number). This function is convenient when faxing sensitive documents, or when multiple departments share a single fax machine.
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES PRINTING A DOCUMENT RECEIVED TO AN F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL MEMORY BOX A document received to an F-code confidential memory box can be printed by entering the print PIN (0000 to 9999) that was programmed when the memory box was created. Printing of the confidential document will take priority over any other jobs waiting to be printed.
F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST TRANSMISSION The F-code relay broadcast function is used to have a relay request fax machine send a fax to a relay fax machine, and then have the relay fax machine send the fax to mulitple end receiving machines. To use this function, the fax numbers of the end receiving machines must be stored in the relay machine. The relay machine and the relay request machine (original sender of the fax) must both support F-codes; however, the end receiving machines do not need to support F-codes.
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES USING THE F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST FUNCTION (your machine is the relay machine) When a document is received from a relay request machine, the F-code relay broadcast function transmits the document to the end receiving machines using a memory box only if the sub-address and passcode sent by the relay request machine are correct. Refer to "F-CODE MEMORY BOX" on page 103 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting memory boxes.
Chapter 5 5 CONVENIENT METHODS OF USE This chapter explains convenient features that can be used to send a document, as well as features that expand the range of use of the fax machine such as connecting an extension phone. CONNECTING AN EXTENSION PHONE You can connect a telephone to the machine and use it as an extension phone to place and receive calls like any normal phone. You can also activate fax reception from the phone (remote operation).
