DTMF Method - Examples
The DTMF method uses combinations of special characters to send documents. See 
the following examples.

• Remote Mailbox – Sends a document to a mailbox on a remote machine.

• Polling – Retrieves a document stored in a mailbox on a remote machine.

• Relay Broadcast – Sends a document to a relay station which in turn sends it to 

multiple destinations.

• Remote Relay Broadcast - Sends a document via multiple relay stations. The last 

station broadcasts the document to the specified destinations.

Communication 
line switch

Switches communication lines that include parameter data, 
where the parameter data include characters “0” to “9” or 
“,”. The parameter data must be placed between angle 
brackets (“<” and “>”).

Dial tone 
detection

Suspends dialing until a dial tone is detected.

Password check 
(for remote 
machine 
identification)

Use this character to verify that the correct number has 
been entered. The machine checks if the password you 
entered after “S” matches the fax number of the remote 
machine. If the match is confirmed the machine sends the 
document.

Readability 
improvement

Improves readability by inserting spaces in a telephone 
number, for example “1 234 5678” instead of “12345678”.

Start DTMF code 
signaling

Pauses regular fax dialing, and starts the DTMF (dual tone 
multi-frequency) method for sending documents to 
mailboxes on the remote machines.

Wait for DTMF 
confirmation

Wait for a DTMF confirmation signal from the remote 
machine and proceed to the next step.
