F-Code transmission and polling
With F-Code, your machine can send secure transmissions, perform relay broadcast
initiations and even poll from other
ITU

T
-equipped machines, regardless of manu-
facturer.
You can do this two ways:
• Using the programmable one-touch key (see pages 3.47–3.48)
• Entering the
ITU

T
sub-address and password directly, which is what we’ll
describe here.
Note: For F-Code communication to work, three things must be true:
• The remote fax machine must support
ITU

T
sub-addressing
• The remote fax must have a mailbox with an

T
sub-address created
on it
• You must know the
ITU

sub-address and password (if any) for the
remote machine’s mailbox
