Muratec F-98 Masking the PIN, Activating the PIN mask, Autodialing while using the PIN mask

1 Press PROGRAM, K, 2, ENTER. The LCD shows:

Print Mem Rx Doc.

Enter Passcode :****

2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the passcode. Here, we’ve entered 6296:

Print Mem Rx Doc.

Enter Passcode :6296

3 Press ENTER.

•If you’ve entered the correct passcode, your fax machine will print all docu- ments in its memory and then erase them. Then it will turn security reception back off until the next time your machine is set to secure receive.

•If you’ve entered an incorrect code, your fax machine will refuse to print, and security reception remains active.

Masking the PIN

To prevent unauthorized long-distance calls, some office telephone systems require you to enter not only the phone number but also a personal identification number (PIN) whenever you dial an outside number beginning with 1.

If that’s true for you, you’ll probably want to keep that PIN confidential, so unautho- rized persons can’t use it. Fortunately, your fax’s PIN mask feature makes such confidentiality possible. With the PIN mask activated, you can dial a fax number plus a PIN, but the PIN will not appear in a journal, error message printout, delayed command list or even TCR, where an unauthorized user might see it. The PIN may be up to eight characters in length (it can include the * or # symbols, if necessary), and can be entered from the numeric keypad.

Important: For this feature to work, the passcode (see page 2.45) must be some- thing besides 0000, and you must know the passcode.

There are three possible settings for the PIN MASK feature:

•Off — The feature isn’t working. Any PIN you enter will appear on any display or printout which shows what you dial.

•Mode 1 — Each remote fax unit has a departmental PIN access code.

•Mode 2 — Each fax user has a departmental PIN access code.

Note: If you select Mode 1 and you will use a one-touch or speed-dial number, you must store the remote unit’s PIN access code within that number. However, if you select Mode 2, this isn’t necessary. (See “Autodialing while using the PIN mask,” this page, right column for further details.)

Beyond the basics

Activating the PIN mask

Important: For this feature to work, you must have preset the passcode to something besides 0000. If necessary, review “The key to it all — the passcode,” page 2.45.

1 Press PROGRAM, J, 1, 7, ENTER. The LCD shows:

Set PIN Mode

Enter Passcode :****

2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the four-digit passcode. In our example here, we’ve entered 2099.

Set PIN Mode

Enter Passcode :2099

Note: If you enter an invalid passcode, the machine’s security feature will reject the attempt and abort the operation.

3 Press ENTER.

PIN Mode: Off

Program/Enter

4 If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 6. Otherwise, proceed to step 5.

5 To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your desired setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen “Mode1.”

PIN Mode: Mode1

Program/Enter

6 Press ENTER.

Autodialing while using the PIN mask

Note: The following instructions presume you understand how to set and use your machine’s autodialer. If you need to review, see pages 2.8–2.13.

Note: If the PIN mask feature is off, you use the autodialer normally.

If you’ve specified “Mode 1” — the PIN goes in

In Mode 1, before autodialing a number for the first time, you must add the PIN to its stored one-touch key or speed-dial number. Here’s how:
