Sending a Confidential Fax or Sub- address Transmission

Fax machines are often placed in public places where everyone can look through the received faxes. To send confidential documents, use the confidential fax feature. The receiving fax machine stores the message in a confidential mailbox (in memory) and does not print it until a password is entered.

Also, if the receiving fax machine is equipped with a sub-address function, you can enter a sub- address number, as a mailbox number enabling sub-address communication.

Tip: To send a confidential fax, you must know in advance the mailbox the mes- sage should be sent to. Ask the person who will receive the fax to tell you their mailbox number.

Receiving Confidential Faxes

If you need to receive a fax that should not be seen by anyone else, have the person send the mes- sage as a confidential fax from another Oki Data Fax-compatible unit, or from a fax machine of a different maker that is equipped with the sub- address transmission function.

In order to do this, you must first set up a confiden- tial mailbox, as explained below. Then, give your mailbox number to the person sending the mes- sage.

An incoming confidential fax is stored in memory until you enter your password.
