F-Code Based Communication; What Is The Purpose Of An F-Code Box - Kyocera KM-2030 Instruction Handbook Manual

F-Code Based Communication

F-Code Based Communication involves fax communication that
includes certain codes (in the form of numbers and symbols),
the base of a protocol that has been adopted for use by other
facsimile manufacturers as well. By using these codes, methods
of transmitting confidential information – previously available
only between facsimiles that were both from the same
manufacturer – are now becoming possible between models
from different manufacturers.
This fax uses an F-Code Box to transmit documents to, and
receive documents from, another party's fax during an F-Code
Based Communication. In this case, in order to designate the
F-Code Box and password, special codes are used (in this fax
they are called the "subaddress" and "F-Code password",
respectively).
In this way, this fax is able to perform F-Code Based
Confidential, Bulletin Board and Relay Broadcast
<Codes used for F-Code Based Communication>
In this fax there are two codes used for F-Code Based
Communication: a "subaddress" and an "F-Code password".
> Subaddress
This code must be entered by the transmitting party during an
F-Code Based Confidential Transmission and by the receiving
party during an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Reception.
The subaddress is used to designate the desired box (equal to the
F-Code Box in this fax) that is registered in the other party's fax.
The acceptable length of the subaddress 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 subaddress can be up to 20 digits in
length and can include any combination of the numerals 0 - 9.
When attempting an F-Code Based Confidential Communication
or an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication with another
fax of this same model, the last 4 digits of the subaddress that you
enter must match the 4-digit subaddress that the other party has
registered in their fax.
> F-Code password
This code must also be entered by the transmitting party during an
F-Code Based Confidential Transmission and by the receiving
party during an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Reception. The
F-Code password is used to designate the password of the
desired box (equal to the F-Code Box 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 "#".
* Depending on the parameters in the receiving fax,
the transmitting party may not need to enter the F-Code
password during the actual transmission or reception procedure.
If you are going to receive the documents with this fax, you can
set up the procedure so that F-Code Based Confidential
Communication will be possible even if the transmitting party
does not enter an F-Code password.
* If you are going to transmit documents with this fax using the
F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication procedure,
the receiving party will not need to enter an F-Code password
during the actual reception procedure if you register "0000" as
the F-Code password for that operation.
Section 4 Other Features of this Fax
Communications with facsimiles made by other manufacturers
and, naturally, with our own models that have F-Code Based
Communication capabilities.
* In order to perform an F-Code Based Communication, the
other party's fax must have F-Code Based capabilities specific
to the communication you are attempting.
* F-Code Based Communication can be used in combination
with the other various types of fax communication available in
this fax. In addition, if you register, in advance, the appropriate
subaddress and F-Code password under an abbreviated
number or one-touch key, you will not need to enter that
information during the actual transmission or reception
procedure. Refer to the procedures for each type of fax
communication and for the related registration procedures for
more detailed information.
* If you receive an F-Code Based Relay Broadcast transmission
where your fax will act as the relay station and you have
registered "0000" as the F-Code password for the corresponding
F-Code Based Relay Box, a check of the passwords will not be
performed.

(1) What is the purpose of an F-Code Box?

By using codes developed for F-code Based Communication, more
functional fax communications such as Confidential Communication
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 Based Confidential Box" and an "F-Code Based
Relay Box".
Each F-Code Box is registered with a subaddress and an F-Code
password. The subaddress is used to designate the desired box
(equal to the F-Code Box in this fax) that is registered in the other
party's fax. In this fax, that box is registered as a 4-digit number from
"0000" to "9999". The F-Code password is used to retrieve the
documents from the box (equal to the F-Code Box in this fax).
In this fax, that password is registered as a 4-digit number that can
include any combination of the numerals 0 - 9 and the symbols "
and "#".
> In an F-Code Based Confidential Communication, an F-Code Box
registered in the receiving party's fax is used to receive the
confidential documents. If you are going to receive documents with
this fax, you must register an F-Code Box in memory in this fax.
> In an F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication, an F-Code
Box registered in the transmitting party's fax is used to transmit the
confidential documents. If you are going to transmit documents
with this fax, you must register an F-Code Box in memory in this
fax.
* You can register up to 15 F-Code Based Confidential Boxes (#01 -
#15) in this fax machine. (Refer to "(2) Registering F-Code Based
Confidential Boxes", page 4-10.)
* If you want to check the information in regard to each F-Code Box,
such as the box numbers and data regarding the existence of
documents in each respective box, print out an F-Code Based
Confidential Box List or an F-Code Based Relay Box List, as
appropriate. (Refer to "(5) Printing Out an F-Code Based
Confidential Box List", page 14 and "(10) Printing Out an F-Code
Based Relay Box List", page 20.)
