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,

• delete an MBX, only if the MBX is initialised and empty,

• print the list of your fax machine’s MBX’s.

Local prefix

This function is used when your fax is installed with a private network, behind a company’s PABX. It allows you to program an additional automatic local prefix (to be defined), enabling you to automatically exit the company’s telephone network system, but only under certain conditions:

• the company’s internal numbers, where a prefix is not required, must be short numbers less than the minimal size (to be defined, for example France has 10 digits),

• 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:

1 defining the minimal size (or equal) of the

company’s outside numbers,

2 defining the outgoing local prefix of the company’s

telephone network. This prefix will automatically be added as soon as an external number is dialled.

You may choose between more than one criteria for printing reports:

• ON: a report is given when the transmission was properly performed or when it is completely abandoned (but there is only one report per request),

• OFF: no transmission report, however, your fax will note all transmissions that took place in its log,

• ALWAYS: a report is printed with each transmission,

• ON ERROR: a report is printed only if the transmission failed or is abandoned.

With each transmission report from memory, a reduced version of the first page is automatically reproduced.

WLAN 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

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

Type of radio network

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

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 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

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

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.

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 information: http://www.okiprintingsolutions.com.

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 radio protocol IEEE 802.11g; it can also be incorporated into an existing IEEE 802.11b network.

When connecting to your machine, only use the approved adaptor. Other transmitting or receiving

• an outbox log,

• an inbox log. These services enable you to always know exactly what

communications are taking place on the terminal, wheth er sending or receiving.

The outbox and inbox logs are automatically printed when their contents fill a page. After automatic printout, the terminal creates a new log.

The outbox

In the fax outbox, there are the following:

• the requests being sent,

• the send later requests,

• the requests for which one or more send attempts have already been made, and which will soon be redialed,

• the rejected requests (calls not put through).

The send memory (items sent)

The sent memory is used to keep all faxes you have sent. The information in the send memory is:

• the recipient of the fax,

• the date the fax was created,

• the date the fax was sent,

• the size of the fax.

Cover page

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

This page may be sent alone or in front of a fax d ocument, 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 cover 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 template

Creating a cover page creates a template which fields (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 document.

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

Details about Option A and B:

•Option (A): Open the application that you want to use to edit the background (Word, Wordpad...). Draw the background image then print this document in the printer named "OKI MB290 (FAX)". At that point the SendFax dialog is displayed:

Add any recipient to the recipient list, click on the tab

• 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,...),

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

Finally click on the button SAVE AS DRAFT in the lower right corner (floppy disk icon). The background image is created in the directory C:\Program Files\Companion Suite Pro LL2\Documents\FAX\Temporary and has the file extension .fax
