Communicating Using F-Codes (F-Code Based Communication); What F-Codes Are Used In This Fax; What Are F-Code Boxes - Kyocera KM-C2630D Operation Manual

Communicating Using F-Codes (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, such operations as Confidential
Communication and Relay Broadcasting – 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 Communications, as well as carry out and Relay Broadcasting, 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 a speed-dial 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.

What F-Codes are used in this fax?

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 F-Code Based Relay
Broadcast Transmission. The subaddress is used to designate 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 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 and the symbols "*" and "#".
When attempting an F-Code Based Confidential Communication or
an F-Code Based Relay Broadcast Transmission 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 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 "#".
Section 5 Other Features of this Fax
* 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.
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 "#".
* You can register up to 100 F-Code Confidential Boxes and 15
F-Code Relay Boxes in this fax machine. (Refer to "Registering
New F-Code Confidential Boxes" on page 5-12 and "Registering
New F-Code Relay Boxes" on page 5-22.)
* 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
Confidential Box List or an F-Code Relay Box List, as
appropriate. (Refer to "Printing Out an F-Code Confidential Box
List" on page 5-17 and "Printing Out an F-Code Relay Box List"
on page 5-27.)
