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.
Before receiving a fax to a Personal Box, notify the sender of the SUB code registered to the Personal Box. The received fax is assigned to the Personal Box with the matching SUB code.
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.

To receive faxes to a Personal Box, set up a Personal Box and register the SUB code.
For the maximum total number of Personal Boxes, Information Boxes, and Transfer Boxes that can be registered, see List of Maximum Values for Each Setting Item.
You cannot set the same box code on two different boxes.
