Rejecting Unsolicited (Junk) Fax

Messages

Closed Network Option

The closed network option lets you set your fax machine to

only transmit faxes to or receive faxes from locations

programmed into One Touch keys or Auto Dial numbers. You

can also set it to receive faxes only from those programmed

locations. This is one way of reducing the number of

unsolicited faxes you receive, such as advertisements.

To use the closed network function, follow the instructions

below.

1 Press the Select Function key.

Confidential Faxes

Fax machines are often placed in public places where

everyone can look through the received faxes. If you are

communicating with another Oki fax-capable unit, you can

use the confidential fax feature. The receiving machine will

store the message in a personal (confidential) mailbox (in the

machine’s memory) and will not print it until a password is

entered. This is an exclusive Okidata feature; you cannot use

it with another manufacturer’s fax machines.

!

To send a confidential fax, you must know in advance

the mailbox the message should be sent to. Ask the

person who will receive the fax to tell you their mailbox

number.

For more information on working with Confidential Faxes,

refer to the “Advanced Operations, Confidential Faxes”

section of this handbook.
