Performing batch transmission while using the PIN mask

Note: The following instructions presume you are familiar with how to set and use both your machine’s autodialer and its batch transmission feature. If you need to review, see pages 3.1–3.5 for more on the autodialer and/or page 3.12 for more on batch transmission.

If you’ve specified Mode 1 or Mode 2

Important: Any autodialer number you use with batch transmission must include the PIN. (To review how to include this information in an autodialer number, review the Mode 1 instructions under “Autodialing while using the PIN mask,” page 3.48.)

Before sending a batch transmission the first time, you must store the PIN within its batch box. Here’s how:

1 Follow the steps for creating or modifying a batch box (pages 3.12–3.13). The LCD asks for the fax number (here, we’re working with batch box 1).

2 Enter an autodialer number, or use the numeric keypad to enter the fax num- ber, to which the batch transmission should go.

Important: If you’re entering a number from the numeric keypad, enter the fax number, followed by the * (“star”) key and then the PIN.

3 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Note: If you press ENTER without entering the PIN, the fax machine beeps, indicates “PIN is not Stored” on the LCD and then returns you to step 2.

4 Continue with the steps for creating or modifying a batch box (pages 3.12–3.13).

Now you can perform batch transmission to this box while the PIN mask is activated.

Setting Block Junk Fax

Your fax machine’s Block Junk Fax feature lets you bar the gates against unautho- rized incoming faxes (“junk fax”). But before you block junk fax, first understand how this feature works, to determine if it’s right for you. There are four possible set- tings for Block Junk Fax:

•Off — The feature isn’t activated.

•Mode1 — Your fax machine checks whether the last four digits of any phone number in your autodialer matches the last four digits of the remote fax’s sub- scriber ID (the phone number part of the TTI). If it doesn’t find a match, your machine disconnects the call.

•Mode2 — This mode rejects any call from a number whose last eight digits match any number in the blocked numbers list (explained later). Your machine can hold up to 50 blocked numbers.

•Mode3 — This rejects numbers that are not in the autodialer and also rejects num- bers that are in the blocked numbers list. This lets you keep a number on your autodialer for transmission to it, while still blocking its incoming calls by putting it in the blocked numbers list.

But before you activate the Block Junk Fax feature, please consider:

•Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their Subscriber IDs. — With Block Junk Fax activated, your machine would reject faxes from these machines.

•Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with extra codes, such as long-distance codes, Block Junk Fax will block out calls from those faxes.

To set the mode for Block Junk Fax:

1 Press MENU, 2, 2, 1, 0, ENTER. The LCD shows:
