5. Security Functions (Administrator)

Introduction

The security functions help you control the use of the machine and ensure that sensitive documents are kept confidential.

The security functions are described below. Any combination of these functions can be used.

Note: Only the administrator of the machine can set up and activate the security functions. To access the functions, the administrator code must be entered. To set the administrator code, see page 72.

User Authentication: This function restricts use of the machine to authenticated users. To use the machine, a user must first log in by entering his or her user number or login name and password.

Secure Fax: This function ensures that received faxes are only picked up by authorized recipients. When Secure Fax is activated, all received faxes are held in memory without being printed out. To print out the received faxes, the preset Secure code must be entered.

Authorized Transmission: This function requires that a supervisor approve faxes and Scan to E-mail transmissions before transmission takes place. Each time a user performs a fax or Scan to E-mail transmission, the machine automatically sends an e-mail notification with the scanned image as an attachment to a specified supervisor. The supervisor checks the transmission and decides whether it should be approved or denied, and then returns the e-mail to the machine. The transmission will only take place if the returned e-mail indicates that the transmission has been approved.

Call Restriction: To ensure that a fax or Scan to E-mail transmission is not accidentally sent to the wrong destination, this function will only allow the transmission if the fax number or e-mail address that the user enters is one of the numbers/addresses that the administrator has previously approved for use in the machine settings.

Send Hold (fax only): To ensure that a fax is not accidentally sent to the wrong fax number when automatic dialing is used, this function displays the entered fax number and prompts you to confirm that it is correct. After you

check the number, press START to begin dialing and transmission.
