Brother MFC 4300 owner manual Broadcasting, Press Broadcast

Broadcasting

Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax numbers. Using the Broadcast key, you can include up to 8 One Touch locations, up to 30 Speed Dial locations, and up to 50 manually dialed numbers (maximum of 88 locations if you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers). However, available memory will vary with the types of jobs in memory and the number of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to set up transmissions using dual access and the timer. (See Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting, page 7-3.)

Although the easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys, you can include One Touch, Speed Dial, and manually dialed numbers in the same broadcast. You must press Broadcast between each of these locations. Use the Telephone Index to help you choose the numbers easily.

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

Note To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop. The LCD asks if you want to cancel all locations or the location that is being sent.

■Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you normally would, but keep in mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can call become limited.

■If the line is busy or for some other reasons a connection could not be made while broadcasting, the MFC will redial the number automatically.

■If the memory is full, press Stop to abort the job or press Start to send the portion that is in the memory (if more than one page has been scanned).
