Security features

IPSec 2

IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a security
protocol that uses an optional Internet
Protocol function to prevent manipulation and
ensure the confidentiality of data transmitted
as IP packets. IPsec encrypts data carried
over the network, such as print jobs sent from
computers to a printer. Because the data is
encrypted at the network layer, applications
that use a higher-level protocol use IPsec
even if the user is not aware of its use.

IPsec supports the following operations:

 IPsec transmissions

 IPsec settings

For more information about IPsec,
see Software and Network User's Guide.

Setting Lock 2

Setting Lock lets you set a password to stop
other people from accidentally changing your
machine’s settings.

Make a careful note of your password. If you
forget it, you will have to reset the passwords
stored in the machine. Contact your
administrator or Brother customer service.

While the Setting Lock is On, you cannot

Additional dialling operations

Combining Address Book numbers 5

Sometimes you may want to choose from
several long-distance carriers when you send
a fax. Rates may vary depending on the time
and destination. To take advantage of low
rates, you can store the access codes of long­distance carriers and credit card numbers as
Address Book numbers. You can store these
long dialling sequences by dividing them and
setting them up as separate Address Book
numbers in any combination. You can even
include manual dialling using the dial pad
(see Basic User's Guide).

j Press Fax Start. You will dial

‘01632-960555’.

5

To temporarily change a number, you can
substitute part of the number by pressing it on
the dial pad. For example, to change the
number to ‘01632-960556’, you could enter
the number (Brother 1: 01632) using Address
Book, press Apply and then press 960556
on the dial pad.

If you must wait for another dial tone or
signal at any point in the dialling
sequence, create a pause in the number
by pressing Pause. Each key press adds
a 3.5-second delay. You can press Pause
as many times as needed to increase the
length of the pause.

5

For example, you might have stored ‘01632’
in Address Book: Brother 1 and ‘960555’ in
Address Book: Brother 2. You can use them
both to dial ‘01632-960555’ if you press the
following:

a Press (Fax).

b Press Address Book.
c Swipe up or down, or press a or b to

display the number of Brother 1.

d Press the number.
