Activating the PIN mask
To prevent unauthorized long-distance calls, some PBX (private branch exchanger)
systems require a PIN (personal identification number) entry when dialing a number.
Your machine's PIN masking feature helps you keep that PIN private.
With PIN masking activated, you can dial a number plus a PIN, but the PIN will not
appear in the journal, error message printout, delayed command list or transmission
report. The PIN may contain up to eight characters including the * or # symbols. You can
enter them from the numeric keys.
There are three possible PIN masking settings:

which show the number you dial.
Mode 1: Each remote fax machine has a PIN access code per department.
