TRANSMISSION BETWEEN MACHINES SUPPORTING F-CODES

This machine supports the "F-code" standard as established by the ITU-T*.

Operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission previously could only be performed with another Sharp fax machine; however, F-Code communication makes it possible to perform these operations with fax machines of other manufacturers that support F-Code communication.

Before using the functions explained in this chapter, make sure that the other fax machine supports F-Code communication and has the same functions as your machine. (the other machine may use a different name for the function).

*The ITU-T is a United Nations organization that establishes communications standards. It is a department of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services.

MEMORY BOXES AND SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION

"Memory boxes" can be created in the memory of fax machines that support F-Code communication. These boxes are used to store faxes received from other machines and documents to be transmitted when a polling request is received. Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a "memory box" in the unit's memory. The memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another machine polls that machine. Up to 100 memory boxes can be created for a variety of purposes, and a name can be assigned to each box. A "sub-address"that indicates the box's location in memory must be programmed, and if desired, a passcode can also be programmed to control access to the box.

*The Public Box is used for normal serial polling (See "USING POLLING MEMORY" on page 3-15).

When communication occurs involving a memory box, the communication will only take place if the sub-address and passcode that the other machine sends match the sub-address and passcode programmed in your machine for that box. Therefore, to allow communication, you must inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the memory box. Likewise, to send a document to a memory box in another machine or use polling to retrieve a document from that memory box, you must know the sub-address and passcode of that memory box. (Box names are used only to manage boxes in the machine; you do not need to inform the other party of a box name the other party only needs to know the sub-address and passcode.)

This machine uses the term "sub-address" for the location of the memory box and the term "passcode" for the password that allows communication; however, other fax machines of other manufacturers may use different terms. When asking the other party for a sub-address and passcode, you may find it useful to refer to the 3-character alphabetical terminology used by the ITU-T.
