F-Code Based Relay Broadcast Communication
F-Code Based Relay Broadcast Communication involves
the transmission of documents to multiple, long distance
destinations by transmitting the documents through a
relay station, generally located between the initial
transmitting station and the final destinations.
This function can help you to reduce telephone costs if,
for example, the documents are transmitted from the
initial transmitting station to the relay station through an
international connection and are then transmitted from the
relay station to the multiple final destinations through a
local (domestic) connection.
* The fax machine acting as the relay station must have
an F-Code Relay Box registered in advance. (Refer to
“(1) Registering F-Code Relay Boxes”.)
The content of such a box can be verified by printing out
an F-Code Relay Box List. (Refer to “(4) Printing Out an
F-Code Relay Box List” on page 4-20.)
(1) Registering F-Code Relay Boxes
Perform the following procedure to register a new F-Code Relay Box.
* You can register up to 15 F-Code Relay Boxes in this fax machine.
<Caution>
When registering the subaddress for an F-Code Relay Box,
you must use a different number than all of the box numbers
used for the Encryption Boxes and all of subaddresses that
have already been registered for F-Code Confidential Boxes.
* If, for any reason, you lose reference to the F-Code
password that you register here, you will not be able to
delete that box. Therefore, you should exercise DUE
CAUTION in the management of the F-Code password.
* If you want to cancel the procedure part way through, press the
Reset key. The touch panel will return to the initial mode settings.
1. Touch the “Register” [“Registration”] key. The Registration Select
screen will appear.
