OKI 4580 User Manual

Fax machines are often placed in public places
where everyone can look through the received
faxes. To send confidential documents, use the
confidential fax feature. The receiving fax machine
stores the message in a confidential mailbox (in
memory) and does not print it until a password is
entered.

Also, if the receiving fax machine is equipped with
a sub-address function, you can enter a sub-
address number, as a mailbox number enabling
sub-address communication.

To send a confidential fax, you must
know in advance the mailbox the mes-
sage should be sent to. Ask the person
who will receive the fax to tell you their
mailbox number.

If you need to receive a fax that should not be seen
by anyone else, have the person send the mes-
sage as a confidential fax from another Oki Data
Fax-compatible unit, or from a fax machine of a
different maker that is equipped with the sub-
address transmission function.

In order to do this, you must first set up a confiden-
tial mailbox, as explained below.  Then, give your
mailbox number to the person sending the mes-
sage.

An incoming confidential fax is stored in memory
until you enter your password.
