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 unauthorized use of your machine. These security features include: (1) Security reception, (2) PIN mask, (3) Block junk fax, and (4) Department codes. Passcode protection Your machine has a passcode protection system which must be turned on in order to use the security features listed below:...
Security reception Security reception tells your machine to keep all received faxes in memory (but not print them). You can print them out later at your convenience. For example, you could use this if you are concerned about workers reading documents intended for your eyes only. NOTE: For this feature to work, you must have activated the passcode protection as described in the left column.

Rx Active ** Turning security reception off and Printing the document stored in memory During security reception mode, an incoming fax goes directly into your machine’s mem- ory and the memory receive light comes on.
Masking the PIN To prevent unauthorized long-distance calls, some PBX (private branch exchanger) sys- tems require a PIN (personal identification number) entry when dialing a number. Your machine’s PIN mask feature helps you keep that PIN number private. With the PIN mask feature activated, you can dial a number plus a PIN, but the PIN will not appear in a journal, error message printout, delayed command list or a TCR (transmit confirmation report).
Use the numeric keys to enter the four-digit protection passcode and press [Enter]. 001:PIN Number Use the numeric keys to enter the PIN and press [Enter]. When you finish, press [Reset]. NOTE: While in Mode 1, any autodialer numbers you use must include the PIN. This also applies to autodialer numbers used with batch transmission (see page 4-14).
Performing a batch transmission while using the PIN mask NOTE: The following instructions presume you are familiar with how to set and use both your machine’s autodialer and the batch transmission feature. If you need to review, see pages 3-1 to 3-12 for more on the autodialer and/or pages 4-14 to 4-16 for more on batch transmission.
Using department codes When the department code setting is activated, the machine reminds each user to enter the department code before sending a document or making copies. With this feature, the fax transaction time and the copy charge can be managed by department. After this setting is turned on, assign a specific code to each user/department and tell them to enter these department codes before sending faxes or making copies.
Press [Enter]. 01:Name Use the numeric keys to enter the one-touch key name. The name can hold up to 20 characters. (Regarding how to enter characters, see “Entering character” on page 2-2.) To change the name, press [ ] or [ ] to move the cursor, press [Cancel] to erase the name.
