Screening Out Messages From Anonymous Senders

To help you screen out unwanted messages that may fill up your memory, the machine can be programmed to only use Substitute Reception for messages that arrive with Own Name/Own Fax Number identification.

Two settings are available:

"When a name or fax number is received"

"Free"

Important

If a sender has not programmed their Own Name or Own Fax Number, the machine may reject an important fax message. We recommend that you ask important senders to register an Own Name or Own Fax Number in advance.

Note

If "When a name or fax number is received" is selected, the machine only stores messages when the name or fax number is present. You can change this with User Parameters. See p.178 “User Parameters” (switch 05 bit 1).

When a Name or Fax Number is received

The machine switches to Substitute Reception only when the sender has pro- grammed their Own Name or Own Fax Number. If the power switch is turned off for 12 hours or longer, all the messages received are deleted. In such a case, the Power Failure Report or the Journal can be used to identify which messages are lost so you can ask the senders to transmit them again.

You can also use this function to screen out unwanted messages, thus con- serving memory.

Free

The machine switches to Substitute Reception regardless of whether or not the sender has programmed their Own Name or Own Fax Number.
