personal identifi cation number (PIN) whenever you dial long distance.
Your fax's PIN mask feature helps you keep that PIN number private. With the PIN mask
activated, you can dial a fax number plus a PIN, but the PIN will not appear in a journal, error
message printout, delayed command list or a TCR. The PIN may be up to eight characters in
length. It also can include the * or # symbols, and it can be entered from the numeric keys.

Note

for the remote unit within the appropriate batch box.
