Masking the PIN
To prevent unauthorised long-distance calls, some office telephone systems require
you to enter a personal identification 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 keypad.
There are three possible settings for the
PIN
mask:
• Off — Turns off the
PIN
mask feature. Any
PIN
you enter will appear on any dis-
play or printout which shows the number you dial.
• Mode 1 — Each remote fax unit has a departmental
PIN
access code.
• Mode 2 — Each fax user has a departmental
PIN
access code.
Note: If you select Mode 1 and you will use a one-touch or speed-dial number, you
must store the remote unit’s
PIN
access code within that number. However, if
you select Mode 2, this isn’t necessary. (See “Autodialing while using the
PIN
mask,” next column for further details.)
Note: If you select either Mode 1 or Mode 2 and will be using batch transmission
(see pages 3.11–3.13), you must store the
PIN
access code for the remote unit
within the appropriate batch box.

PIN
mask

Autodialing while using the
PIN
mask

In Mode 1, before autodialing a number for the first time, you must add the
PIN

the stored one-touch key or speed-dial number. Here’s how:

Now you may autodial the number as usual.
