Muratec F-150 - Manual (Page 74)

Beyond the basics
Your machine has a number of features to enhance the security of your fax commu-
nications. These security features can help you let your private fax documents stay
private, avoid unwanted outside communication and even protect against unautho-
rized use of your machine — as well as control its authorized use.
The key to it all: the passcode
Your machine has a protection passcode system which, as you’ll see, is central to the
machine’s security capabilities. Normally, this four-digit passcode is set to 0000
(four zeroes). This turns off passcode operation. But, if you set the passcode to any-
thing besides 0000, this passcode provides access to numerous other security
capabilities we’ll describe in succeeding pages.
To set your machine’s passcode:
1 Decide upon, and then write down the four-digit passcode (0001–9999) you
want to use and put it in a safe place.
Important: Do not use 0000. This turns off passcode protection.
2 Press / PROGRAM , J , 1, 6, ENTER . The LCD will show:
3 If you are creating the passcode, use the numeric keypad to enter 0000.
If you are modifying an existing passcode, enter the existing passcode.
4 Press ENTER .
5 Enter the desired four-digit passcode. Here, we’ve entered 6296:
6 Press ENTER to save the passcode.
Note: Anytime you want to turn off the passcode, change the passcode back to
0000 by repeating steps 1–6 and entering 0000 in step 5.
Locking up tight: operation protection
Important: For this feature to work, you must have set the passcode, as described
in the left column.
Because this is a powerful machine you have here — and, besides, you’re paying for
its phone calls — you may not want just anybody to use it. That’s why we’ve pro-
vided operation protection. When this feature is activated, only those who enter the
proper passcode (see “The key to it all: the password,” left column) can send faxes
from — or even make settings on — the machine.
Activating operation protection
1 Press / PROGRAM , J , 1, 7, ENTER . The LCD shows:
2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the passcode. Here, we’ve entered 6296:
3 Press ENTER . The LCD shows:
4 If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 6.
Otherwise, proceed to step 5.
5 To change the setting, press or / PROGRAM once or twice until your
desired setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen “On.”
6 Press ENTER to save the setting.
