Preventing Wrong Fax Transmissions

Secure fax functions allow you to prevent wrong fax transmissions.

This machine has the following three security functions for fax transmissions.

ID Check Transmission

This function checks whether the last four digits of the dialed number match with those registered in the recipient's machine. If this function is enabled, the sender's machine sends faxes only when they match.

Memo

  • If the recipient's machine has no registered fax number, faxes are not sent.

  • ID check transmission is not available with manual transmissions.

Checking Broadcast Destinations

When the check broadcast destinations function is enabled, a fax number confirmation screen is displayed before transmission starts. By factory defaults, this function is enabled.

Memo

  • The check broadcast destinations function is available only if multiple destinations are specified.

  • If [Confirm Dial] is also enabled, the confirm dial function is executed first.

  • The check broadcast destinations function is not available with manual transmission.

Confirm Dial

If the confirm dial function is enabled, when you enter the destination number by using the numeric keypad, you are prompted to re-enter the destination number. The fax is sent only if these two numbers match.

Memo

  • The confirm dial function is not available when you specify the destination by using a speed dial.

  • If the destination number includes symbols, re-enter the symbols as well.

  • If [Checking Broadcast Destination] is also enabled, the confirm dial is executed first.

  • The confirm dial is not available with manual transmission.
