Relay broadcast

Your fax machine (initiator) can relay a document, in other
words, transmit a document to your subscribers via a
remote fax and with a precise relay list.

To do this the initiator fax and the remote fax must both
have the relay function.

To relay you need to supply the remote fax with the
document and the relay list number. The remote fax will
then transmit this document to all subscribers on the list.

Once the relay is activated by yo ur fax and as soon as the
document is received by the remote fax, the document is
printed before relaying to all subscribers on the list.

MailBoxes (MBX Fax)

There are 32 mailboxes (MBX), enabling you to transmit
documents in complete confidence using an access code
(named MBX code), to all subscribers equipped with a fax
compatible to yours.

MBX 00 is public. It is handled directly by the terminal to
record the messages of the fax TAD as soon as this is put
into service.

MBX’s 01 to 31 are private. Each is password-protected.
They can be used to receive documents confidentially.

The use and access to MBX 01 - 31 are conditioned by
the initialisation, defined by a MBX code (if needed) and
a mnemonic (its S.I.D.).

Later you may:

• modify the features of an MBX,

• print the contents of an MBX, only possible if the MBX
contains one or more documents (with a star next to
the MBX). When the contents of an MBX have been
printed it becomes empty,

• the outside numbers requiring a prefix, must be long
numbers greater or equal to the minimal size (to be
defined, for example France has 10 digits).

Programming your fax with the local prefix consists of two
steps:

Network features

You may connect your multifunction terminal to a wireless
network.
However, practical knowledge of your computer
configuration is required to set up a network.

You can connect your machine to a PC using a USB cable
or make a wireless connection (via radio) with a PC or
network.

If you have a WLAN adaptor, you
can incorporate your machine as a
network printer into a radio network.

Important

Type of radio network

This works only with an approved
adaptor that you can obtain from our
ordering department. For further
information, contact
http://www.okiprintingsolutions.com.

Radio ad-hoc network

In an ad-hoc network, the devices communicate directly
with each other without passing through an access point.
The speed of communication across the whole radio
network is as fast as the weakest connection in the
network. The speed of communication is also dependent
on spatial distance between transmitter and receiver, as
well as the number of barriers, such as walls or ceilings.

Please note that in ad-hoc mode,

Important

the WPA/WPA2 encryption method
is not available.

9 - Network features

A radio network or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)
is created when at least two computers, printers or other
peripheral devices communicate with each other in a
network via radio waves (high frequency waves). The
transmission of data in the radio network is based on the
standards 802.11b and 802.11g. According to how the
network is set up, it may be described as an infrastructure
network or an ad-hoc network.

Beware, when you are using a
wireless connection, that certain
items of medical equipment,

CAUTION

sensitive or security systems may
be affected by the radio
transmissions of your device; in all
cases, please follow safety
guidelines closely.

Radio infrastructure network

In an infrastructure network, several devices
communicate via a central access point (a gateway or
router). All data is sent to the access point (gateway or
router) from where it is re-distributed.

Radio networks (WLAN)

Three steps are necessary to incorporate your machine
into a radio network (WLAN):

1 Configure the network to your PC.
2 Set up the parameters for your machine so that it

can function in a network.

3 Having set up the parameters for your device,

install the Companion Suite Pro software onto your
PC with the necessary printer drivers.

Once the machine is incorporated into a WLAN network,
you can from your PC:

• print documents on the multifunction machine from
your usual applications,

• scan colour, grey scale or black and white documents
on your PC.

The PC and all other devices must
have their parameters set up to the
same network as the multifunction
machine. All the details needed for
setting up the device, such as the
network names (SSID), type of radio
network, encryption key, IP address
or subnetwork mask, must match

Important

the specifications of the network.
You will find these details on your

PC or on the Access Point.
To find out how to set up the

parameters for your PC, please
consult the users’ manual for your
WLAN adaptor. For large networks,
please seek the advice of your
network administrator.

You can be sure of perfect
communication if you use an
approved adaptor in conjunction with
your PC.

Note

All of the latest printer drivers for the
approved adaptor may be found on
our website together with further

Connect your WLAN adaptor

Your machine belongs to a new generation of terminals
that you can incorporate into a WLAN network using a
WLAN USB key.

Your machine’s network radio
adaptor transmits data using the

Description of the tab FAX PARAMETERS Cover page

The cover page is part of a fax document automatically
generated by your terminal, on which there is information
concerning the sender, the recipient, the date, the time
sent, comments, etc...

This page may be sent alone or in front of a fax document,
but always at the same time as the document. A
document may be sent with a cover page from the
multifunction terminal or from the central processing unit.
In the latter case, some of the information in the cover
page may be provided by yourself when making the send
request. It is necessary to create model cover pages
before sending a document using them. On the other
hand, once the cover page is created, a model cove r page
may be used for all documents sent.

Your terminal offers the possibility of creating and
customizing some model cover pages which you can
choose when sending a fax.

Creating a cover page creates a template which fiel ds (fax
number, comment, subject and so on) will be
automatically filled by the Fax Application depending on
the information provided for each recipient of a docume nt.

To create this cover page template, there are two major
steps:

• First step: Create a background image with the logos
and the layout that you wish.

• Second step: Add the field that you want to be
displayed in the cover page: fax number, comment,
subject and so on. As mentioned before, these fields
will be filled by Fax application at emission time.

For the first step, there are two methods to create the
background image.

You can either

•Option (A): Draw this background image in your
preferred application (such as Word, Excel,...),

OR

•Option (B): Scan a sheet of paper containing the
layout of the cover page.
