Sending a Confidential Fax
Fax machines are often placed in public places where
everyone can look through the received faxes. If you
are communicating with another Okidata fax-capable
unit, you can use the confidential fax feature. The re-
ceiving machine will store the message in a confiden-
tial mailbox (in its memory) and will not print it until a
password is entered. This is an exclusive Okidata fea-
ture; you cannot use it with another manufacturer’s fax
machines.
Note:
To send a confidential fax, you must know in ad-
vance the mailbox the message should be sent to. Ask
the person who will receive the fax to tell you
their mailbox number.

Receiving Confidential Faxes
If you need to receive a fax that should not be seen by
anyone else, have the person send the message from
another Okidata fax-capable unit as a confidential fax.
In order to do this, you must first set up a confidential
mailbox, as explained below. Then, give your mailbox
number to the person sending the message.
An incoming confidential fax is stored unprinted in
memory until you enter the password.
Creating a Confidentail Mailbox
