Preventing a Fax Transmission to the Wrong Destination

To prevent selecting a wrong fax destination, you can configure the machine to display a screen confirming the destination before sending a fax. You can also restrict broadcast transmission. Also, you can limit the destination of faxes to our machine only (Closed Network).
