Information Boxes

You can program a document into an Information Box for others to pick up.

Use the Information Box function to set up the machine as a document server.

Program a document into an Information Box for others to pick up. When a request is made by another party, the SEP Code they specify is matched against the SEP Codes programmed in that Information Box. If a code matches the document stored in the Information Box the document is sent to the other party automatically.

Other parties can receive these documents whenever they request them.

For details about how to store a document in the Information Box, see Storing Documents in Information Boxes.

For other parties to be able to retrieve a document programmed in an Information Box, you need to inform the SEP Code assigned to that Information Box.

Important

  • If the main power switch is turned off for about an hour, all documents stored in Information Boxes are deleted. When this happens, the Power Failure Report is printed so you can confirm which documents have been deleted. See "When an Error for Fax Function Is Notified via a Report or E-Mail", Troubleshooting.

To use this function, pre-register the Information Box in [Box Setting] on the Fax Features menu. You can configure a password for the box. For details about how to register an Information Box, see Programming/Changing Information Boxes.

Note

  • If a parameter other than [Print] is set to [Output Mode] in [General Setting] under [Output Mode Switch Timer] in [Reception File Settings], document registration in or deletion from Information Boxes may not be possible. If this is the case, check the [Output Mode Switch Timer] setting.
