SENDING AND RECEIVING
CONFIDENTIAL FAXES
The confidential function allows you to send and receive confidential faxes. When a fax is sent by confidential
transmission, it is held in the memory (confidential box) of the receiving machine instead of being printed out. The
fax can only be printed out when the recipient enters a confidential ID code.
This function is convenient when you need to send or receive sensitive documents, or when several departments
share the same fax machine.
To receive confidential faxes, a confidential box number and an ID code must be programmed. ("CONFIDENTIAL
CODE SET" (p.104))
As shown above, receiving a fax in a confidential box is called confidential reception, and sending a fax to a
confidential box in the receiving machine is called confidential transmission.
• The confidential function can only be used when the other fax machine is a Sharp model that has the
confidential fax function. For more information, consult your dealer.
• To use the confidential function, the sender's number must be programmed in the sending machine and a
confidential box number and an ID code must be programmed in the receiving machine.
Take care not to forget your confidential ID code. In the event that you forget it, print out the
confidential ID list. ("LIST PRINT" (p.107))
