What Are F-Code Boxes - Kyocera KM-2540 Operation Manual

Fax Operation (Advanced)
F-Code password
This code must also be entered by the transmitting party during an
F-Code Based Confidential Transmission and F-Code Based Relay
Broadcast Transmission. The F-Code password is used to designate the
password of the desired box (equal to the F-Code Confidential Box or
the F-Code Relay Box, as appropriate, 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 #.
Note If you are going to receive documents into an F-Code
Confidential Box registered in this fax, F-Code Based Confidential
Communication is possible even if the transmitting party does not
enter an F-Code password. In order to receive documents into an
F-Code Relay Box, however, the transmitting party must enter the
appropriate F-Code password.
If you are going to transmit documents from this fax using the
Bulletin Board function and if you register '0000' as the F-Code
password for that operation, the receiving party will not need to
enter an F-Code password during the actual reception procedure.

What are F-Code Boxes?

By using codes developed for F-Code based Communication, more
functional fax communications such as Confidential Communication and
Relay Broadcasting 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 Confidential Box' when it is
designated for F-Code Based Confidential Communication and an 'F-
Code Relay Box' when it is designated for F-Code Based Relay
Communication.
