Ricoh FAX5600L manual 144, Wild Cards

RECEPTION ADVANCED FEATURES

Wild Cards

This feature greatly enhances the effectiveness of the following features:

❐Authorized Reception

❐Forwarding

❐Specified Cassette Selection

In each of these features, you have to store the RTI or CSI of various terminals that you normally receive fax messages from. Then, when your machine detects an incoming call, it checks the RTI or CSI of the other terminal, and acts accordingly.

When you program RTIs for these features, you can program wild cards to greatly expand the number of terminals that you can receive from.

Example:

If you wish to accept messages from all 150 branches of XYZ Company (using Authorized Reception), print them on yellow paper (using Specified Cassette Selection), and forward them on to head office (using Forwarding), you don’t have to store the RTI of each branch of XYZ Company. Program "XYZ" as a wild card for each of these functions. If the RTIs of all XYZ branches contain an "XYZ" somewhere in the RTI, messages coming in from them will be accepted, printed on yellow paper, and sent on to head office.

CAUTION

This feature cannot recognize spaces.

Example:

If you store MAN as a wild card, and a terminal with an RTI that includes MANCHESTER, HUMAN, or HUMANE calls you, your machine will recognize MAN as a wild card and accept and/or forward the message.
