Beyond the basics

6. Use the numeric keypad to enter the appropriate one-digit number for the desired SecureMail mailbox in the remote machine. In this example, the number is 8:

S	Mail	Tx
S	Mail	No.	8_

Note: If you make a mistake, press CANCEL to back up, then enter the correct one-digit number.

7. Press ENTER. The display will show:

Enter Fax Number

_

8. Enter the fax number either by pressing a one-touch key, entering a speed-dial number or dialing from the numeric keypad. Do not press START.

9. What you do now depends upon when you wish the transmission to begin. To have it begin now, skip to step 12.

To delay it, proceed to step 10.

10. Press COMMUNICATION OPTIONS, ENTER. The display will show:

Delayed

Enter Time: 19/14:11

11. Use the numeric keypad to enter the day and time when the SecureMail transmission should begin, then press ENTER.

Note: If you make a mistake, press CANCEL to erase leftward. Or, to change just

one digit in the setting, press to move the cursor leftward, or to move it rightward, to that digit and press CANCEL to erase it. Then re- enter until the date and time are just as you want it.

12. Press START.

If, in step 9, you chose an immediate transmission, your fax machine will begin dialing. If you chose a delayed command, the machine will display “Reserved” on the top line of the display, indicating that the machine has stored the command in memory and will perform it later.

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 wish to keep that PIN confidential, so unauthorized

persons can’t discover — and use — the PIN number. 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, entered from the numeric keypad (it can include the * or # symbols, if necessary) may be up to eight characters in length.

Important: For this feature to work, the passcode (see page 2.36) must be something besides 0000; and, of course, 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 (the display calls it “Mode1”) — Each departmental PIN access code.

∙ Mode 2 (the display calls it “Mode2”) — Each access code.

Note: If you select Mode 1 and you will use a one-touch or speed-dial number, you must store the PIN access code for the remote unit within that number. However, if you select Mode 2, this isn’t necessary. (See “Autodialing while using the PIN mask,” page 2.42 for further details.)

Note: If you select either Mode 1 or Mode 2 and will be using batch transmission (see pages 2.24-2.27), you must store the PIN access code for the remote unit within the appropriate batch box.

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 2.36.
