TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES
MEMORY BOXES AND
SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES REQUIRED FOR
F-CODE TRANSMISSION
Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a
"memory box"
in the unit's memory. The
memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another
machine polls that machine. Up to 10 memory boxes can be created for each operation type, and a name can be
assigned to each box. A
"sub-address"
that indicates the box's location in memory must be programmed, and if
desired, a
passcode
can also be programmed to control access to the box.
When communication occurs involving a memory box, the communication will only take place if the sub-address and
passcode that the other machine sends match the sub-address and passcode programmed in your machine for that
box. Therefore, to allow communication, you must inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the
memory box. Likewise, to send a document to a memory box in another machine or use polling to retrieve a
document from that memory box, you must know the sub-address and passcode of that memory box.
Memory boxes are managed in this machine not only by sub-addresses and passcodes (which are number
sequences), but also by names. For example, for the memory box with the sub-address, "7732123", and the
passcode, "1115", you could assign the name "Product Planning". Assigning names makes it easier to manage
memory boxes. (Note that you do not need to inform the other party of a memory box name; the other party only
needs to know the sub-address and passcode.)
This machine uses the term "sub-address" for the location of the memory box and the term "passcode" for the
password that allows communication; however, other fax machines of other manufacturers may use different terms.
When asking the other party for a sub-address and passcode, you may find it useful to refer to the 3-character
alphabetical terminology used by the ITU-T.
