Receiving Faxes to Personal Boxes

A “Personal Box" is a function that allows you to receive faxes in a private mail box similar to a P.O. box and prevent the fax contents from being viewed by other users. You can print the faxes received in Personal Boxes on the machine, or deliver them to destinations registered in advance. Fax Header is not appended to a document to be distributed.
