4 Chapter 4 TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES This chapter explains F-code transmission, which gives you a convenient means of performing advanced operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission. Normally these functions require that the other fax machine be a similar Sharp machine; however, F-code transmission enables these functions to be performed with any other machine that supports F-code transmission. TRANSMISSION BETWEEN MACHINES SUPPORTING F-CODES This machine supports the "F-code" standard as established by the ITU-T*. The F-code standard makes it possible to perform special operations such as relay broadcast and confidential transmission, which previously could only be performed with another similar Sharp machine, with any other machine that also supports F-codes. Before using any of the functions explained in this chapter, verify that the other fax machine supports F-codes and the function that you wish to use (the other machine may use a different name for the function). * The ITU-T is a United Nations organization that establishes communications standards. It is a department of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services. 51
