F Code
This feature enables fax transmissions using the F Code standard defined by the Communications and Information network Association of Japan. The F Code standard is based on Recommendation T.30 defined by ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector
You must know the F Code and the password (if one is set up) of the remote machine before sending or retrieving a document. If you are retrieving a document from a remote machine, the machine holding the document must know the F Code (preceded with “0” to indicate the confidential fax transmission) and the password of your machine as well.
• Confidential sending using F Code
You can send a confidential fax document using F Code, if a confidential mailbox is set up in the remote machine. You must know the remote machine’s F Code and password (if set up) before sending the document.
Example:
F Code: 0 (to designate an F Code transmission) followed by the mailbox number
Password (if set up): the password for the mailbox
• Confidential polling using F Code
You can send a polling request to receive a document from a remote machine using F Code, if a confidential mailbox is set up in the remote machine to hold the document to be polled. When polling to receive a document from a remote machine, you must know the following information:
F Code: 0 (to designate an F Code transmission) followed by the remote machine’s mailbox number in which the document to be polled to your machine is stored
Password (if set up): the password for the remote machine’s mailbox
The confidential document received by the machine is stored in a confidential mailbox. The machine can be set up to automatically print out a Mailbox Documents Report to show the number and name of the mailbox in which the document is stored. To receive a confidential document using F Code, the other party must know the following information.
F Code: 0 (to designate an F Code transmission) followed by the mailbox number on your machine
Password (if set up): the password for the mailbox
NOTE: To retrieve a document from a remote machine, the polling feature must be enabled. For more information, refer to Remote Polling on page 107.
