Security features

These security features include: (1) operation protection, (2) security reception,

(3)PIN mask, (4) security transmission, (5) closed network, (6) block junk fax, and

(7)department codes.

The passcode

Your machine has a passcode protection system which must be turned on in order to use the security features listed above.

To set your machine’s passcode:

1	Decide on the four-digit passcode (0001– 9999) you want to use. Write it down,
	and put it in a safe place.
	Important: Do not use 0000. This turns off passcode protection.
2	Press /PROGRAM, J, 1, 6, ENTER. The LCD shows:
		Protect Passcode
		Old Passcode:	****
3
	If you are creating a passcode, use the numeric keypad to enter 0000.
	If you are changing an existing passcode, enter the existing passcode.
4	Press ENTER.
5	Enter the new four-digit passcode. Here, we’ve entered 6296:
		Protect Passcode
		New Passcode:	6296

6 Press ENTER to save the passcode.

Note: Any time you want to turn off the passcode, change the passcode back to 0000 by repeating steps 2–6 and entering 0000 in step 5.
