Sharp MX-FX13 appendix Code Relay Broadcast Transmission, Relay request machine sends document

F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST

TRANSMISSION

The F-Code relay broadcast function allows the machine to act as a relay machine for a broadcast transmission. The end receiving machines are stored in the machine's F-Code relay memory box, and when the machine receives a relay request from another F-Code machine, it will relay the fax to all of the stored end receiving machines.

The relay machine and the originating machine that requests the relay transmission must both support F-codes; however, the end receiving machines programmed in the F-code relay broadcast memory box do not need to support F-codes.

Relay request machine (sends document)

1) Document is sent from

machine requesting Sub-address relay transmission

Passcode

Relay machine (your machine)

2) Check sub-address and passcode

Match Does not match

3) Document data is

S.F. read into relay broadcast memory box (reception is permitted).

4) Document is automatically transmitted to end receiving machines programmed in the relay broadcast memory box.

Receiving machine A Receiving machine B Receiving machine C

The machine that originally sends the document is called the relay request machine, and the machine that has a memory box containing the end receiving machines and which relays the received document to those machines is called the relay machine.

The relay machine also prints the document sent by the relay request machine.

For example, corporate headquarters in Seattle wants to send the same document to branch offices in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose. If the San Francisco office creates a relay broadcast memory box and programs the Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose offices as end receiving destinations, the overall phone charges will be lower than if the Seattle office uses the regular broadcast transmission function (page 31). If used together with a timer setting (page 33) to take advantage of off-peak rates, the cost of transmission can be further reduced.

Transmission by the relay machine is called "F-code relay broadcast transmission", and transmission from the relay request machine to the relay machine is called "relay request transmission".

•	This machine does not support Sharp's previous relay broadcast function, which uses the programmed
Note	sender's number and relay ID code.

•Up to 10 F-code relay groups (boxes) can be programmed. A name (up to 36 characters long) and the end receiving machines are programmed in each box. A combined total of 120 end receiving machines can be programmed in all F-code relay groups (boxes). (If 120 end receiving machines are programmed in one F-code relay group, no end receiving machines can be programmed in other F-code relay groups.)

•End receiving machines can be stored using the numeric keys, Rapid keys, Speed Dial numbers, and group keys. Auto-dial destinations that already have a sub-address and passcode programmed cannot be used.

•Only one relay group can be specified when making a relay request. Multiple relay groups cannot be simultaneously selected.

•To create an F-code relay group (box) and store, edit, and delete end receiving machines, see pages 78, 80 and 83. When creating a box, a passcode (SID) can be omitted.

•The relay request machine only bears the expense of sending the document to the relay machine. The relay machine bears the expense of sending the document to each of the end receiving machines.
