F-Code: An Introduction; Creating Or Modifying An F-Code Box - Oce sx1481 User Manual

F-code: an introduction

The ITU-T, the United Nations agency that standardizes international telecommunica-
tions, has created a fax industry standard for using sub-addressing and password-based
communication.
With sub-addressing, your machine can send secure transmissions, polling documents,
and even perform relay broadcast initiations regardless of manufacturer.
One name for the sub-addressing is F-code, and that's what we will call it in these
instructions and on your machine's LCD.
Guidelines for using F-code
(1) Before creating an F-code box, you must know the remote fax machine is compatible
with the ITU-T sub-addressing and they are using this feature.
(2) To permit the other party to send or poll documents from your F-code boxes, you
must create an F-code box in your machine and the other party must know your F-
code box's sub-address and password.
(3) To send or poll to remote fax machine's F-code boxes, you have to know their sub-
address and password.

Creating or modifying an F-code box

The elements of creating an F-code box are as follows:
Box Number
Box Name
Sub-address
Password
Box feature
I.D. code
6-2 u f-
sInG code features
Enter the two-digit number (01-20) of the F-code box you want to create
(up to 20 F-code boxes can be created).
You can assign an identifier name for the F-code box (a name can be up
to 16 characters in length).
This is the ITU-T sub-address need to perform the F-code fax transac-
tion (a sub-address and password can be up to 20 digits including " "
and " ").
Only when the sub-address and password (if you set) that is sent from
remote fax machine match with your F-code box's sub-address (and
password), the remote fax machine can use your F-code box's feature.
This is a password for ITU-T sub-addressing.
Assigning a password is optional, but using a password will make your
F-code communication much more secure.
You can set up the F-code box as a bulletin box, a security reception box
or a relay transmission box.
• Bulletin box — Holds scanned or received documents and waits for a
polling request from another F-code compatible fax machine.
• Security box — The received documents in the security box are held
for the specific amount of time you have set and they are not printed
automatically. You will need to enter the I.D. code to print them.
• Relay box — The received documents are relayed to other destina-
tions. If you set the Auto print mode to on, your machine also print
them.
This is a 4-digit I.D. code protects the F-code box settings from unau-
thorized access. Assigning the I.D. code is optional for a bulletin box
and a relay box, but required for the security box.
