This is done using "Transaction report print select setting" (page 8-6) in the key operator programs, and the setting is selected separately for single sending, broadcasting, receiving, and confidential reception.
TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION USING THE POLLING FUNCTION This function can only be used if the other machine is a Super G3 or G3 machine and supports the polling function. The polling function allows your machine to call a fax machine that has document data set and initiate reception of the document.

PROGRAMMING FREQUENTLY USED OPERATIONS This function allows you to store the steps of an operation, including the destination and scanning settings, into a program. This function is convenient when you frequently send documents, such as a daily report, to the same destination.
TRANSFERRING RECEIVED FAXES TO ANOTHER MACHINE WHEN PRINTING IS NOT POSSIBLE (FORWARDING FUNCTION) When printing is not possible because of a paper, toner, or other problem, you can transfer received faxes to another fax machine if that machine has been appropriately programmed in your machine. This function can be conveniently used in an office or other workplace where there is another fax machine connected to a different phone line.
FAXING DIRECTLY FROM A COMPUTER (PC-FAX FUNCTION) This feature can only be used when the printer function is a standard feature or has been installed as an option. The PC-FAX driver can be installed in your computer to enable documents created on your computer to be faxed directly from your computer screen.
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.
This machine supports the "F-code" standard as established by the ITU-T*. Operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission previously could only be performed with another Sharp fax machine; however, F-Code communication makes it possible to perform these operations with fax machines of other manufacturers that support F-Code communication.

G Refer to pages 6-10 through 6-13 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting F-code confidential memory boxes.
PRINTING A DOCUMENT RECEIVED TO AN F-CODE CONFIDENTIAL MEMORY BOX Faxes received in an F-Code confidential memory box are printed out by entering the PRINT PIN 4-digit passcode (0000 to 9999) that was programmed when the box was created. Printing of the confidential faxes takes precedence over any other stored jobs.
"relay request transmission". NOTES G This machine does not support Sharp's previous relay broadcast function, which uses the programmed sender's number and relay ID code. G To create an F-code relay broadcast memory box and program, edit, and delete end receiving machines, refer to pages 6-10 to 6-14.
F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST TRANSMISSION USING THE F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST FUNCTION (your machine is the relay machine) When a document is received from a relay request machine, the F-code relay broadcast function transmits the document to the end receiving machines using a memory box only if the sub-address and passcode sent by the relay request machine are correct.

USING AN EXTENSION PHONE You can connect a telephone to the machine and use it as an extension phone to place and receive calls like any normal phone. You can also activate fax reception from the phone (remote operation). NOTE If you connect a combination telephone/answering machine to the machine, you will not be able to use the answering machine function.
RECEIVING A FAX AFTER TALKING (MANUAL RECEPTION) When an extension phone is connected to the machine and you have set the reception mode to "MANUAL RECEPTION", you can talk to a person sending a fax manually and then begin fax reception without breaking the connection.
Speak to the other party when they mode answer. After the other party switches to fax reception, press your [START] key. Replace the extension phone.

PROGRAMMING, DELETING F-CODE MEMORY BOXES The procedure for programming a memory box for F-code transmission is explained here. There are three types of F-code memory boxes: F-code polling memory (page 4-4), F-code confidential transmission (page 4-6), and F-code relay broadcast (page 4-8). Memory boxes are programmed, edited, and deleted as follows. PROGRAMMING AN F-CODE MEMORY BOX A box name, sub-address/passcode, and function must be programmed in a memory box.

KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS This chapter explains key operator programs that are related to the fax function. For key operator programs that are related to general use of the machine, see the key operator programs manual. NOTE You may not be able to use all of the programs in the key operator program list. Programs that you can use will depend on what peripheral devices are installed on the machine.
USING THE KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS Follow these steps to configure the settings in the key operator programs. Press the [CUSTOM SETTINGS] key. Touch the [KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS] key. DEFAULT LIST PRINT SETTINGS FAX DATA SENDER CONTROL RECEIVE/FORWA KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS Use the numeric keys to enter the five-digit key operator code number.
The key operator programs for the fax function of the machine are explained here. For key operator programs that are related to the copy function and general use of the machine, see the key operator's guide. For programs related to the printer and network scanner functions, see the corresponding manuals. NOTE Settings established with the key operator programs can be verified by printing them out (page 8-11).
"MANUAL", the exposure level can be adjusted to five levels. Level 1 is the lightest level and level 5 is the darkest level. * Can only be used on the AR-M355N/AR-M455N. The AR-M355U/AR-M455U models do not have this function.
KEY OPERATOR PROGRAMS Pause time setting This setting is used to select the duration of pauses that are inserted in destination fax numbers. Normally the setting is 2 seconds, which means that each time the [PAUSE] key is touched when dialing or storing a fax number, a pause of 2 seconds is inserted.
