Receiving Documents from an F-Code
Based Bulletin Board
F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication involves fax
communication that uses an F-Code Box (in this fax, called an
“F-Code Confidential Box”) that is registered in memory in the
transmitting fax machine and that works like a Bulletin Board
server, allowing the same documents to be made available and
transmitted to an unlimited number of receiving parties.
The transmitting party registers, in advance, an F-Code Box in the
their fax, and enters the documents to be transmitted into that box.
Until the data for those documents is deleted, the documents will
remain in that box for transmission any time they are requested
with the correct subaddress and F-Code password.
Each receiving party can then simply perform the appropriate
Polling Reception procedure and retrieve the documents from that
box using the corresponding subaddress and F-Code password to
designate and access that F-Code Confidential Box.
Using certain codes (called the “subaddress” and “F-Code
password” in this fax) – the base of a protocol that has been
adopted for use with facsimiles made by other manufacturers as
well – communication is possible with other facsimiles even if they
are not one of our models, as long as they have the corresponding
F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication capabilities.
Restriction: It is necessary that the other fax machine has the same
F-Code Based Bulletin Board Communication capabilities as your
fax machine. However, depending upon the fax machine, there is a
possibility that they may not be able to enter documents in their
box or may not be able to perform Polling Reception, so both the
transmitting party and the receiving party should check in advance
whether the appropriate conditions are met.
(For example, even if you are going to transmit documents with
this fax and you enter documents into your F-Code Confidential
Box, the receiving party's fax must have Polling Reception
capabilities or Bulletin Board Communication will not be possible.)

begin automatically.

<Conditions>
z The transmitting party must...
register a corresponding box (F-Code Confidential Box) and
store the documents to be transmitted in that box. They must
then inform the receiving party of the registered box number (a
4-digit subaddress in this fax) and password (called the
F-Code password in this fax) for that F-Code Confidential Box.
(Refer to “Entering Documents into an F-Code Confidential
Box” on page 5-18.)
z You (the receiving party) must...
enter – during the procedure for the Polling Reception – the box
number (a 4-digit subaddress in this fax) and password (a
4-digit F-Code password in this fax) that corresponds to the box
(F-Code Confidential Box) that the transmitting party
registered in their fax. Thus, this information must be known
in advance.
