F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL TRANSMISSION
This function is used to fax confidential documents. The sub-address and passcode programmed for a memory box
restricts access to the box, and received data can only be printed by someone who knows the print PIN. (Personal
Identification Number).
This function is convenient when faxing sensitive documents, or when multiple departments share a single fax machine.
As the above diagram shows, receiving a document to the machine's F-code confidential memory box is called
F-code confidential reception, and sending a document 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 (see 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 A SUB-ADDRESS AND
PASSCODE FOR A MEMORY BOX IN THE OTHER MACHINE" on page 53.
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. (Omit the
passcode if a passcode is not programmed in the box.)
• For Sharp's regular confidential transmission function, which uses the programmed sender's fax number and
ID code, see "SENDING AND RECEIVING CONFIDENTIAL FAXES" on page 46.
• See "F-CODE MEMORY BOX" on page 105 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting F-code
confidential memory boxes.
Take care not to forget the print PIN that is programmed in the F-code confidential memory box.
If you forget the passcode, print it out in the key operator programs. ("LIST PRINT" (p.107))
• An F-code confidential transmission can be used in combination with the broadcast transmission function*
(p.27) or the timer transmission function (p.30), and can be stored as a program (p.74).
*Only when the destinations are stored in rapid keys.
• F-code confidential transmission is not possible if the other machine does not support F-code transmission or
does not have an F-code memory box programmed.
• Before performing an F-code confidential transmission, you will need to ask the operator of the other machine
for the sub-address and passcode programmed in that machine. You can omit entry of the passcode if a
passcode is not programmed in the other machine.
• A sub-address and passcode can be stored in a rapid key together with a fax number. To store rapid keys, see
page 68.
