Rejecting Unsolicited (Junk) Fax
Messages
Closed Network Option
The closed network option lets you set your fax machine to
only transmit faxes to or receive faxes from locations
programmed into One Touch keys or Auto Dial numbers. You
can also set it to receive faxes only from those programmed
locations. This is one way of reducing the number of
unsolicited faxes you receive, such as advertisements.
Confidential Faxes
Fax machines are often placed in public places where
everyone can look through the received faxes. If you are
communicating with another Oki fax-capable unit, you can
use the confidential fax feature. The receiving machine will
store the message in a personal (confidential) mailbox (in the
machine’s memory) and will not print it until a password is
entered. This is an exclusive Okidata feature; you cannot use
it with another manufacturer’s fax machines.
!
To send a confidential fax, you must know in advance
the mailbox the message should be sent to. Ask the
person who will receive the fax to tell you their mailbox
number.
For more information on working with Confidential Faxes,
refer to the “Advanced Operations, Confidential Faxes”
section of this handbook.
