FAXING DIRECTLY FROM A COMPUTER (PC-FAX FUNCTION)
The PC-FAX driver can be installed in your computer to enable documents created on your computer to be faxed
directly from your computer screen. This eliminates the bother of printing the document and faxing it from the
machine.
The PC-FAX driver is contained on the CD-ROM that accompanied the machine or the printer expansion kit.

Using the PC-FAX function
To fax a document using the PC-FAX function, select the PC-FAX driver as the printer driver on your computer
and "print" the document. Fax data will be created and the fax will be transmitted.

USING CONVENIENT FUNCTIONS 2
TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES
This chapter explains F-code transmission, which gives you a convenient means
of performing advanced operations such as relay broadcast transmission and
confidential transmission. Normally these functions require that the other fax
machine be a similar Sharp machine; however, F-code transmission enables
these functions to be performed with any other machine that supports F-code
transmission. Please read those sections which are of interest to you.

TRANSMISSION BETWEEN MACHINES
SUPPORTING F-CODES
SUPPORTING F-CODES
This machine supports the "F-code" standard as established by the ITU-T*.
Operations such as relay broadcast transmission and confidential transmission previously could only be performed with
another Sharp fax machine; however, F-Code communication makes it possible to perform these operations with fax
machines of other manufacturers that support F-Code communication.
Before using the functions explained in this chapter, make sure that the other fax machine supports F-Code communication
and has the same functions as your machine. (the other machine may use a different name for the function).

Telecommunication Union (ITU), which coordinates global telecommunications networks and services.
MEMORY BOXES AND SUB-ADDRESSES/PASSCODES
REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION
REQUIRED FOR F-CODE TRANSMISSION
"Memory boxes" can be created in the memory of fax machines that support F-Code communication. These boxes are
used to store faxes received from other machines and documents to be transmitted when a polling request is received.
Fax machines that support F-code transmission enable the creation of a "memory box" in the unit's memory. The
memory box is used to store documents received from another fax machine or documents to be sent when another
machine polls that machine. Up to 100 memory boxes can be created for a variety of purposes, and a name can be
assigned to each box. A "sub-address" that indicates the box's location in memory must be programmed, and if
desired, a passcode can also be programmed to control access to the box.

desired, a passcode can also be programmed to control access to the box.
*The Public Box is used for normal serial polling (See "USING POLLING MEMORY" on page 3-15).
When communication occurs involving a memory box, the communication will only take place if the sub-address and
passcode that the other machine sends match the sub-address and passcode programmed in your machine for that
box. Therefore, to allow communication, you must inform the other party of the sub-address and passcode of the
memory box. Likewise, to send a document to a memory box in another machine or use polling to retrieve a
document from that memory box, you must know the sub-address and passcode of that memory box. (Box names
are used only to manage boxes in the machine; you do not need to inform the other party of a box name the other
party only needs to know the sub-address and passcode.)
This machine uses the term "sub-address" for the location of the memory box and the term "passcode" for the
password that allows communication; however, other fax machines of other manufacturers may use different terms.
When asking the other party for a sub-address and passcode, you may find it useful to refer to the 3-character
alphabetical terminology used by the ITU-T.
