Confidential Faxes

Facsimile machines are often located in open areas where anyone can look through the messages received. The confidential fax feature controls access to faxes.

A confidential fax is a fax sent or received to the secured memory of a machine. This secured memory is called a personal mailbox (or sub-address number).

Your machine can send and receive confidential faxes.

Confidential faxes require that:

1Both communicating machines (the machine being sent from [sender] and the machine being sent to [receiver]) support compatible confidential fax standards, i.e.

both machines are OKIFAX (or compatible) products or

both machines are equipped with a sub-address function

2Confidential mailbox addresses be shared

On your machine, the address is the number (1 to 16) of the confidential mailbox.

!Be sure to record both the address and password of each confidential mailbox. Keep the record in a safe place. If you forget a password, you will need to contact a Service Dealer for assistance.
