Beyond the Basics
Security features
Your machine has a number of security features to keep your private fax documents
private, avoid unwanted outside communication and even protect against unautho-
rized use of your machine.
These security features include: (1) security reception, (2) PIN mask,
(3) security transmission, (4) closed network, (5) block junk fax, and
(6) department codes.
The passcode
Your machine has a passcode protection system which must be turned on in order to
use the security features listed above.
To set your machine's passcode:
1
Decide on the four-digit passcode (0001–9999) you want to use. Write it down,
and put it in a safe place.
Important: Do not use 0000. This turns off passcode protection.

Security reception
Security reception tells your machine to keep all received faxes in memory (but not
print them). Then you can print them out later, at your convenience. For example,
you could use this if you're concerned about workers reading documents intended
for your eyes only.
Important: For this feature to work, you must have activated the passcode protec-
tion as described on left column. You must also know the passcode.
