F-Code Based Communication F-Code Based Communication involves fax communication that includes certain codes (in the form of numbers and symbols), the base of a protocol that has been adopted for use by other facsimile manufacturers as well. By using these codes, methods of transmitting confidential information - previously available only between facsimiles that were both from the same manufacturer - are now becoming possible between models from different manufacturers. This fax uses an F-Code Box to transmit documents to, and receive documents from, another party's fax during an F-Code Based Communication. In this case, in order to designate the F-Code Box and password, special codes are used (in this fax they are called the "subaddress" and "F-Code password", respectively). In this way, this fax is able to perform F-Code Based Confidential, Bulletin Board and Relay Broadcast Section 4 Other Features of this Fax Communications with facsimiles made by other manufacturers and, naturally, with our own models that have F-Code Based Communication capabilities. * In order to perform an F-Code Based Communication, the other party's fax must have F-Code Based capabilities specific to the communication you are attempting. * F-Code Based Communication can be used in combination with the other various types of fax communication available in this fax. In addition, if you register, in advance, the appropriate subaddress and F-Code password under an abbreviated number or one-touch key, you will not need to enter that information during the actual transmission or reception procedure. Refer to the procedures for each type of fax communication and for the related registration procedures for more detailed information. In this fax there are two codes used for F-Code Based Communication: a "subaddress" and an "F-Code password". > Subaddress This code must be entered by the transmitting party during an F-Code Based Confidential Transmission and by the receiving party during an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Reception. The subaddress is used to designate the desired box (equal to the F-Code Box in this fax) that is registered in the other party's fax. The acceptable length of the subaddress differs depending on model and maker of the fax machine and, if the entered numbers do not match within the parameters of the fax machine that has the shortest acceptable length, F-Code Based Communication will not be successful. Consult with the other party and compare the parameters of both faxes before actually attempting an F-Code Based Communication. In this fax, the subaddress can be up to 20 digits in length and can include any combination of the numerals 0 - 9. When attempting an F-Code Based Confidential Communication or an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication with another fax of this same model, the last 4 digits of the subaddress that you enter must match the 4-digit subaddress that the other party has registered in their fax. > F-Code password This code must also be entered by the transmitting party during an F-Code Based Confidential Transmission and by the receiving party during an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Reception. The F-Code password is used to designate the password of the desired box (equal to the F-Code Box in this fax) that is registered in the other party's fax. The acceptable length of the F-Code password differs depending on model and maker of the fax machine and, if the entered numbers do not match within the parameters of the fax machine that has the shortest acceptable length, F-Code Based Communication will not be successful. Consult with the other party and compare the parameters of both faxes before actually attempting an F-Code Based Communication. In this fax, the F-Code password can be up to 20 digits in length and can include any combination of the numerals 0 - 9 and the symbols " " and "#". * Depending on the parameters in the receiving fax, the transmitting party may not need to enter the F-Code password during the actual transmission or reception procedure. If you are going to receive the documents with this fax, you can set up the procedure so that F-Code Based Confidential Communication will be possible even if the transmitting party does not enter an F-Code password. * If you are going to transmit documents with this fax using the F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication procedure, the receiving party will not need to enter an F-Code password during the actual reception procedure if you register "0000" as the F-Code password for that operation. * If you receive an F-Code Based Relay Broadcast transmission where your fax will act as the relay station and you have registered "0000" as the F-Code password for the corresponding F-Code Based Relay Box, a check of the passwords will not be performed. (1) What is the purpose of an F-Code Box? By using codes developed for F-code Based Communication, more functional fax communications such as Confidential Communication are possible with facsimiles made by other manufacturers. In order to accomplish this, you register in the memory of your fax, in advance, a memory box and use that box to transmit documents to, and receive documents from, the other party. That memory box is called an "F-Code Box" in this handbook and there are two such boxes in this fax: an "F-Code Based Confidential Box" and an "F-Code Based Relay Box". Each F-Code Box is registered with a subaddress and an F-Code password. The subaddress is used to designate the desired box (equal to the F-Code Box in this fax) that is registered in the other party's fax. In this fax, that box is registered as a 4-digit number from "0000" to "9999". The F-Code password is used to retrieve the documents from the box (equal to the F-Code Box in this fax). In this fax, that password is registered as a 4-digit number that can include any combination of the numerals 0 - 9 and the symbols " " and "#". > In an F-Code Based Confidential Communication, an F-Code Box registered in the receiving party's fax is used to receive the confidential documents. If you are going to receive documents with this fax, you must register an F-Code Box in memory in this fax. > In an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication, an F-Code Box registered in the transmitting party's fax is used to transmit the confidential documents. If you are going to transmit documents with this fax, you must register an F-Code Box in memory in this fax. * You can register up to 15 F-Code Based Confidential Boxes (#01 #15) in this fax machine. (Refer to "(2) Registering F-Code Based Confidential Boxes", page 4-10.) * If you want to check the information in regard to each F-Code Box, such as the box numbers and data regarding the existence of documents in each respective box, print out an F-Code Based Confidential Box List or an F-Code Based Relay Box List, as appropriate. (Refer to "(5) Printing Out an F-Code Based Confidential Box List", page 14 and "(10) Printing Out an F-Code Based Relay Box List", page 20.) 4-9
