F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION
F-Code confidential transmission provides a secure means of faxing confidential documents. The sub-address and
passcode programmed in the memory box restrict the recipients of the fax, and once received in the memory box,
the fax can only be printed by someone who knows the print passcode (PRINT PIN. see page 6-14).
This function is convenient when sending important documents that you only want a specific person to see, or when
multiple departments share a single fax machine.
As the above diagram shows, receiving document data to the machine's F-code confidential memory box is
called F-code confidential reception, and sending document data to another machine's F-code confidential
memory box is called F-code confidential transmission.
F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION
F-code confidential transmission is performed in the same way as a normal transmission (refer to chapter 2);
however, you must enter the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) after the fax number of the other machine.
(Omit the passcode if the other machine does not use a passcode.)
For the procedure for entering sub-addresses and passcodes, see "ENTERING (DIALING) A FAX NUMBER WITH
A SUB-ADDRESS AND PASSCODE" on page 4-3.
F-code confidential reception is performed in the same way as normal reception (see chapter 2); however, you must
inform the other party of the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) of your confidential memory box. (If a passcode
is not programmed in the confidential memory box, only inform the other party of the sub-address (SUB).)
NOTES
This machine does not support Sharp's previous confidential transmission function, which uses the programmed
sender's fax number and ID code.
Refer to pages 6-10 through 6-13 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting F-code confidential
memory boxes.
Take care not to forget the print PIN. programmed in the F-code confidential memory box. If you forget the
passcode, consult your dealer.
NOTE
An F-code confidential transmission can be used in combination with the broadcast transmission function (page 3-
2) or timer transmission function (page 3-6), and can be stored in a program (page 6-8).
