Mailbox Communication

Types of Mailbox

This function is used to communicate between Fax machines compatible with a mailbox function (ITU-T compatible). The owners of these Fax machines can input or retrieve the data of originals in the mailbox.

There are 3 types of mailbox; confidential mailbox, bulletin board mailbox and multi-address relay mailbox.

yConfidential mailbox:

Once the data of an original is retrieved from this box, this data will be deleted. If a new data is input in this box under the same box number where another data exists, the new data will be added to the existing data.

yBulletin board mailbox:

Even if the data of an original is retrieved from this box, this data will not be deleted. If a new data is input in this box under the same box number where another data exists, the new data will overwrite the existing data.

yMulti-address relay mailbox:

A Fax machine with mailbox function transmits a Fax specifying a certain mailbox as a relay mailbox, and then the relay station forwards the Fax to the destination previously registered in the relay mailbox. In this case, the Fax machine of the original sender is called a relay originator, the Fax machine which forwards the Fax is called a relay station and the Fax machine which receives the Fax at the last stage is called a relay destination. A relay station can send a report (relay destination transmission report) to a specified Fax machine involved in the multi-address relay transmission after completing the transmission.A relay station can also print out the Fax from a relay originator always or only when the relay transmission has failed.

<Example of multi-address relay mailbox>

If you want to transmit the same original to several offices in New York from Los Angeles office, you can reduce the communication cost utilizing a multi-address relay mailbox function, by set- ting the New York office "A" as a relay station (see the figures below).

<Procedure>

1)	Set a relay mailbox in the New York office "A". ( P.115 “Setting up relay mailbox”)
2)	Transmit the original from the Los Angeles office to the relay mailbox in the New York office

"A". ( P.122 “Sending data in confidential / bulletin board mailbox (remote hub)”)
