Receiving Documents from an F-Code Based Bulletin Board
F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication involves fax communication that uses an F-Code Box (in this fax, called an “F-Code Confidential Box”) that is registered in memory in the transmitting fax machine and that works like a Bulletin Board server, allowing the same documents to be made available and transmitted to an unlimited number of receiving parties.
The transmitting party registers, in advance, an F-Code Box in the their fax, and enters the documents to be transmitted into that box. Until the data for those documents is deleted, the documents will remain in that box for transmission any time they are requested with the correct subaddress and F-Code password.
Each receiving party can then simply perform the appropriate Polling Reception procedure and retrieve the documents from that box using the corresponding subaddress and F-Code password to designate and access that F-Code Confidential Box.
Using certain codes (called the “subaddress” and “F-Code password” in this fax) – the base of a protocol that has been adopted for use with facsimiles made by other manufacturers as well – communication is possible with other facsimiles even if they are not one of our models, as long as they have the corresponding F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication capabilities.
Restriction: It is necessary that the other fax machine has the same F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication capabilities as your fax machine. However, depending upon the fax machine, there is a possibility that they may not be able to enter documents in their box or may not be able to perform Polling Reception, so both the transmitting party and the receiving party should check in advance whether the appropriate conditions are met.
(For example, even if you are going to transmit documents with this fax and you enter documents into your F-Code Confidential Box, the receiving party's fax must have Polling Reception capabilities or Bulletin Board Communication will not be possible.)
<Conditions>
zThe transmitting party must...
register a corresponding box (F-Code Confidential Box) and store the documents to be transmitted in that box. They must then inform the receiving party of the registered box number (a 4-digit subaddress in this fax) and password (called the F-Code password in this fax) for that F-Code Confidential Box. (Refer to “Entering Documents into an F-Code Confidential Box” on page 5-18.)
zYou (the receiving party) must...
enter – during the procedure for the Polling Reception – the box number (a 4-digit subaddress in this fax) and password (a
4-digit F-Code password in this fax) that corresponds to the box (F-Code Confidential Box) that the transmitting party registered in their fax. Thus, this information must be known in advance.
