Encryption
This method allows you to communicate with originals encrypted by the sending system. Therefore, even when a third
party tries to view the originals in the middle of communication by some means, the third party is prevented from
knowing the actual contents of the originals. The originals received are reverted to the originals as they were before
transmission (decrypted) by the receiving system, and printed. This is an extremely effective communication method for
sending confidential documents that are not to be opened by a third party.
In encryption communication, in order to encrypt and decrypt originals, the sending and
receiving systems must use the same 16-digit encryption key. When the encryption key differs
between the sending system and the receiving system, the encryption cannot be conducted.
Therefore, the sending system and the receiving system need to have the same encryption
key and 2-digit key No. registered in advance.
Description of settings at sending and receiving systems
Registering an Encryption Key
An encryption key is required when registering the Address Book used for encryption
communication (the other party is directly entered using the numeric keys) in the
sending system and when setting encryption in the receiving system.
IMPORTANT
In order to use encryption communication, the fax of the other party needs to be an
our brand system with the same type of encryption functions.
