The - , part of the United Nations agency that maintains international telecom-
ITU T
munications standards (see the Glossary that begins on page 3.16), has now created
a fax industry standard for using sub-addressing and password-based communica-
tions with not only other Muratec fax machines but also other manufacturers'
machines. One name for this standard is F-Code, and that is what we'll call it in
these instructions and on your machine's display.
How sub-addressing works: think of a mailroom
If you are new to the concept of sub-addressing, think about how someone receives
mail addressed to a department within that person's company. For example, mail
for Accounting gets to the mailroom for the entire company. The Mail Department
then routes the mail to Accounting.
That's the idea behind sub-addressing. Once your fax and another F-Code-compati-
ble fax begin their communication, they exchange special F-Code signals to indicate
just where the fax really should go. It's as if the sending fax were saying, "Take this
one and deliver it to room 48" and the receiving fax were replying, "48? OK, will do."
For greater security, you can set up an

with any other fax machine, so long as it, too, uses the F-Code standard from

in your machine. Your machine can use up to 10 of these boxes. You can store up to
