Broadcasting (Not available for colour faxes)

Broadcasting is when the same fax message is automatically sent to more than one fax number. Using the Menu/Set key, you can include Groups, Speed-Dial numbers and up to 50 manually dialled numbers. If you did not use up any of the numbers for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers, you can ‘broadcast’ faxes to as many as 90 (MFC-3420C only) or 150 (MFC-3820CN only) different numbers. However, the available memory will vary depending on the types of jobs in the memory and the number of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to the maximum numbers available, you will not be able to use Dual Access and Delayed fax.

To include Speed-Dial numbers and manually dialled numbers in the same broadcast, you must press Menu/Set between each of the numbers. Use Search/Speed Dial to help you choose the numbers easily.

(See Setting up Groups for Broadcasting on page 7-3.)

After the broadcast is finished, a Broadcast Report will be printed to let you know the results.

■Enter the long dialling sequence numbers as you would normally, but remember that each Speed-Dial number counts as one number, so the number of locations you can store becomes limited.

■If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to stop the job or if more than one page has been scanned, press Mono Start to send the portion that is in the memory.
