Setting SUB Codes for Transmission

This section explains how to use a SUB Code so that you can send a document as a confidential document or send a document via a transfer station.

A SUB Code is an ID consisting of numbers, Sharp, Asterisk, and spaces.

Confidential transmission

Documents sent by confidential transmission are stored in the other party's memory and are not printed automatically. The other party enters the SUB Code to print the received document. Privacy can be mutually protected when transmitting a confidential document intended for a specific receiver, since only the person who knows the SUB Code can print the document.

To perform a confidential transmission, you must specify a machine that has the Personal Box function as a destination.

Transmission via a transfer station

If you send a document via a transfer station, you can reduce costs when you send the same document to multiple remote destinations. Also, you can save time since many documents can be sent in a single operation.

To send via a transfer station, you must specify a machine that has the Transfer Box function as a destination.

Obtain the SUB Code of the other party in advance. If the other party does not have a SUB Code, tell them the SUB Code you are using.

A SUB Code cannot be used with Internet Fax, e-mail transmission, and folder transmission.

  • Make sure the number of digits in the SUB Code matches the specification of the machine to which you are sending. For the maximum number of digits for the SUB Code of this machine, see Maximum Values.

  • When a SUB Code is stored in the Address Book, the SUB Code can be modified or deleted after selecting a destination using the destination keys.
