Receiving Confidential Faxes

If you need to receive a fax that should not be seen by anyone else, have the person send the message 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 confidential mailbox, as ex- plained below. Then, give your mailbox number to the person sending the message.

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