Beyond the basics
Your machine has a number of features to enhance the security of your fax commu-
nications. These security features can help you let your private fax documents stay
private, avoid unwanted outside communication and even protect against unautho-
rized use of your machine — as well as control its authorized use.
The key to it all: the passcode
Your machine has a protection passcode system which, as you’ll see, is central to the
machine’s security capabilities. Normally, this four-digit passcode is set to 0000
(four zeroes). This turns off passcode operation. But, if you set the passcode to any-
thing besides 0000, this passcode provides access to numerous other security
capabilities we’ll describe in succeeding pages.
To set your machine’s passcode:
1
Decide upon, and then write down the four-digit passcode (0001–9999) you
want to use and put it in a safe place.
Important: Do not use 0000. This turns off passcode protection.

Note: Anytime you want to turn off the passcode, change the passcode back to
0000 by repeating steps 1–6 and entering 0000 in step 5.
Locking up tight: operation protection
Important: For this feature to work, you must have set the passcode, as described
in the left column.
Because this is a powerful machine you have here — and, besides, you’re paying for
its phone calls — you may not want just anybody to use it. That’s why we’ve pro-
vided operation protection. When this feature is activated, only those who enter the
proper passcode (see “The key to it all: the password,” left column) can send faxes
from — or even make settings on — the machine.
