Bien qu'on trouve le syntagme «télécopieur protégé» comme synonyme de «télécopieur sécurisé», il ne s'agit pas d'un vrai synonyme. En effet, «protégé» sous-tend plutôt un accès restreint, réservé à un certain nombre d'utilisateurs ou encore protégé par mot de passe. On ne peut donc l'employer pour parler d'un type d'appareil utilisé pour transmettre des documents sécurisés ou confidentiels. 4, record 4, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9copieur%20s%C3%A9curis%C3%A9
