Secure Transmission

Overview

This feature allows some degree of data security when sending a fax message. However, care should be taken because the method used for data encryption is quite simple, unlike the methods used in data scramblers or in the DES (Data Encryption Standard) used in some software packages.

The transmitting machine will encrypt the data, and the receiving machine will recover the original data form the encrypted signal before printing.

The ID code for Secure Transmission is fixed. When sending a fax message by Secure Transmission, the supplier is not responsible for the interception or decoding of the message by an unauthorized party.

Before using this feature, you must program one of the User Function Keys to activate this feature (Function 35; see page 163).
