F-code operations using memory boxes include F-code polling memory (following page), F-code confidential
transmission (page 4-6), and F-code relay broadcast (page 4-8). Memory boxes must be created to perform any of
these operations.
A memory box can be created using the custom settings. The method of setting up the box varies depending on the
operation. Up to 100 boxes can be created. Note that two boxes cannot use the same sub-address, and a passcode
can be omitted.
Refer to page 6-10 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting memory boxes.
A maximum of 20 digits are permitted for sub-addresses and passcodes. Be sure to inform the other party of the sub-
address and passcode.

NOTES
• If you attempt to create a box when 100 boxes have already been created, a message will appear and you will not be able to

create the box. First delete an unneeded box (page 6-13), and then create the new box.

• Spaces cannot be used when programming a sub-address or passcode. The characters "#" and " " cannot be used in a sub-

address, but they can be used in a passcode.

If the sub-address and
passcode have been
programmed into the one-

steps are not needed.

A slash "/" appears at the
end of the fax number. If you
make a mistake, press the
C key to clear the mistake.

If you make a mistake,
press the C key and re-enter
the correct digit(s).

A slash "/" appears at the end of the sub-address.

If a passcode has not been established for the other
box, this step is not necessary.

NOTES
• You can program a sub-address and passcode into a one-touch dial key along with the fax number (refer to page 6-3).

• Manual transmission (on-hook dialing or lifting an extension phone connected to the machine) using a sub-address and

passcode is not possible.

When transmitting to a memory box in another fax machine, the sub-address and passcode must be entered after the
other machine's fax number. Enter the other machine's fax number as explained for a normal transmission (page 2-2)
or for a polling operation (page 3-6), and then enter the sub-address and passcode as follows:

F-code polling memory allows one fax machine to call another fax machine and activate reception of a document that has
been scanned into the other machine's F-code polling memory box. Calling another machine and activating reception is
called F-code polling, and scanning a document into a memory box for another machine to retrieve by polling is called F-
code polling memory. This function is approximately the same as normal polling explained on page 3-5; however, it uses
an F-code polling memory box and is always protected by means of the sub-address and passcode.

F-code polling is when your machine calls another machine and retrieves a document that was scanned into the
polling memory box of that machine (the reverse of the above diagram).

NOTES
• To perform polling or polling memory without using an F-code, refer to page 3-5.

• To create an F-code memory box for polling memory, refer to page 6-10.

• Unlike normal polling, the other machine's fax number is not programmed as a passcode for F-code polling memory. The

sub-address and passcode of the polling memory box are always used for polling security.

• The receiving machine bears the expense (phone charges) of the transmission.

In order for another machine to retrieve a document from your machine, you must first scan the document into the F-
code polling memory box.
You can check scanned document data by printing it out (refer to the following page).

NOTE
When using F-code polling memory, do not set the reception mode to manual reception.

NOTE
When creating the memory box, you can select whether to have the scanned document data automatically cleared after
polling, or left in the box to allow repeated polling.

The procedure for scanning a document into an F-code polling memory box created with the custom settings (page 6-10) is
almost the same as the procedure for scanning a document into the Public Box for normal polling memory. Instead of
touching the PUBLIC BOX key in Step 4 on page 3-7, touch the key of the memory box into which you wish to scan the
document. If document data has already been stored in that box, the new document data will be added on to the existing data.
If you no longer need the existing data, delete it as explained on the following page.

When you touch the memory box into which you wish to scan the document, the
key is highlighted and selected as the scanning destination.

The procedure for checking document data in an F-code polling memory box by printing it and the procedure for
clearing data from a box are almost the same as the procedures for printing and clearing document data from the
Public Box. Instead of touching the PUBLIC BOX key in Step 3 on page 3-8, touch the memory box key of the data
you wish to print or clear.

If a document icon (

) appears to the right of a memory box key, document data

has been stored in that box and you can print it out.
Note that you cannot check or clear the contents of a memory box while it is being
used for transmission.

Make sure that a document has not been loaded in the auto document feeder or on the document glass, and then
follow the steps below.

NOTES
• You must know the sub-address (SEP) and passcode (PWD) of the other machine's F-code polling memory box.

• Serial polling (selecting multiple fax machines to be polled using a group key or by touching the NEXT ADDRESS key) is not

possible with F-code polling.

• To cancel the operation

Press the JOB STATUS key and then cancel the operation as explained on page 2-6.

• Only one polling operation with a timer setting (page 3-4) can be stored.

This function is used to send confidential documents. The sub-address and passcode programmed for a memory box
restricts access to the box, and received data can only be printed by someone who knows the print PIN. (Personal
Identification Number).
This function is convenient when sending important documents that you only want a specific person to see, or when
multiple departments share a single fax machine.

As the above diagram shows, receiving document data to the machine's F-code confidential memory box is called
F-code confidential reception, and sending document data to another machine's F-code confidential memory box
is called F-code confidential transmission.

NOTES
• This machine does not support Sharp's previous confidential transmission function, which uses the programmed sender's

fax number and ID code.

• Refer to pages 6-10 through 6-13 for the procedures for creating, editing, and deleting F-code confidential memory boxes.

• Take care not to forget the print PIN. programmed in the F-code confidential memory box. If you forget the passcode, consult

your dealer.

F-code confidential transmission is performed in the same way as a normal transmission (refer to chapter 2); however,
you must enter the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) after the fax number of the other machine. (Omit the
passcode if the other machine does not use a passcode.)
For the procedure for entering sub-addresses and passcodes, refer to page 4-3.
F-code confidential reception is performed in the same way as normal reception (refer to chapter 2); however, you
must inform the other party of the sub-address (SUB) and passcode (SID) of your confidential memory box. (Omit the
passcode if a passcode is not programmed in the box.)

NOTE
An F-code confidential transmission can be used in combination with the broadcast transmission function (page 3-2) or timer
transmission function (page 3-4), and can be stored in a program (page 6-8).
