2. Enter an autodialer number, or use the numeric keypad to enter the fax
number to which the batch transmission should go.
Important: If you're using an autodialer number, it must contain the
PIN, as mentioned previously. If you're entering a number
from the numeric keypad, enter the fax number, followed
by the * ("star") key and then PIN.
3. Press ENTER to save the setting.
Note:
If you press ENTER without entering the PIN, the fax
machine beeps, indicates "No PIN Number" on the display
and then returns you to step 2.
Now, you can perform batch transmission to this box while the PIN mask is
activated.

Setting security transmission

Your fax's security transmission feature provides extra assurance that your
documents go where you're sending them. When this feature is activated and
your machine sends a fax, the machine compares the last four digits of the
dialed number to the other unit's Subscriber ID (the phone number at the
top of that unit's transmissions; see page 42). If these digits match, your call
goes through. If they don't, your machine disconnects the call and prints an
error message telling you to check the condition of the remote unit.
Before you activate this feature, please consider:
• Not all fax machine owners enter their phone numbers in their
Subscriber IDs. — Indeed, some machines don't even have a
Subscriber ID. So, with security transmission activated, your machine
would disconnect its calls to such machines.
• Access codes can cause confusion. — If an autodialer entry ends with
a long-distance or other access code, activating this feature prevents
calls to that fax. (After all, the other fax's users won't put your codes
at the end of their Subscriber IDs.)
Note: In the following instructions, your fax's display abbreviates
Transmission as Tx.
1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.
