Open Mailbox allows storage and retrieval of documents via mailboxes that are already set up in a
mailbox hub.
The following two types of Open Mailboxes are available:
• Confidential Box: Confidential Box allows one-time document retrieval from the mailbox. Once a
document is retrieved, it is cleared. If a new document is stored using the same
box number where another document is present, it is added to the existing one. It
is also possible to set up a password requirement for accessing the Confidential
Box for document retrieval to prevent unauthorized retrieval of the documents.
This password is required if the documents are to be retrieved by a remote facsimile.
• Bulletin Board Box: Bulletin Board Box allows multiple document retrievals from the mailbox. Once a
document is retrieved, it is not cleared. If a new document is stored using the
same Box number where another is present, it replaces the existing one. It is also
possible to set up a password requirement for accessing the Bulletin Board Box
for document reservation (no password is necessary for document retrieval).
Open Mailbox conditions
Sending and storage of documents to a mailbox hub and retrieval of documents from a mailbox hub is
possible only with an ITU-T compliant facsimile.
Only ITU-T compliant facsimiles can be used as Open Mailbox hubs. This digital copier is provided with
mailbox hub functions.
• Preparation involves setting up an Open Mailbox for storing documents within the mailbox hub.
