TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES

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

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 10 memory boxes can be created for each operation type, 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. ("USING POLLING MEMORY" (p.35))

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.

Memory boxes are managed in this machine not only by sub-addresses and passcodes (which are number sequences), but also by names. For example, for the memory box with the sub-address, "7732123", and the passcode, "1115", you could assign the name "Product Planning". Assigning names makes it easier to manage memory boxes. (Note that you do not need to inform the other party of a memory 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.
