Printing a File Received with Memory Lock

This is a security function designed to prevent unauthorized users from reading your documents. If Memory Lock Reception is switched on, all received documents are stored in memory and are not automatically printed. To print the documents, you have to enter the Memory Lock ID.

When your machine has received a document with Memory Lock Reception, the Confidential File () indicator flashes.

Before using this function, the following preparations are required in the Facsimile Features menu.

For details about Memory Lock Reception, see Reception File Settings.

For details about Program Memory Lock ID, see Initial Settings.

If you print a Memory Lock file, it is deleted.

Important

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