FOR YOUR INPORMATION
What Is Passwordì
The password is provided for use in a closed network of fax machines. It will prevent
reception of “junk faxes” that can interfere with your daily operations. It can also
help you avoid the transmission of faxes to the wrong parties.
How Does It Work?
First the receiving party sets up “SET PASSWORD” to “ON” and then enters a four­
digit password.
When you send a fax message, you must enter the same four-digit password. If the
four-digit password is the same for both the sending and receiving machines, you will
be able to send and receive messages. Also, both machines should be a Brother (or
compatible).
When to Use Password Plus?
If you have activated the password function, only people who have set the correct
password code on their Brother fax machine can exchange faxes with your machine.
To help avoid difficulties, you can use the Password Plus feature. It prevents
reception of “junk faxes”. If you choose “Password Plus” in “SET PASSWORD”, your
machine will receive not only faxes sent by parties using your password but also faxes
sent without your password, if the sending machine’s number is registered as one of
your One-Touch numbers. (Your machine compares the last four-digits of the
sending fax machine’s number to numbers listed in your One-Touch keys.) In this
case, the sending machine need not be Brother fax machine.)
