Broadcasting

Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax numbers. Using the Help/Broadcast key, you can include Groups, One Touch locations, Speed Dial locations and up to 50 manually dialed numbers. If you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers, you can “broadcast” faxes automatically to up to 130 different locations from the MFC 7150C and up to 174 locations from the MFC 7160C. However, available memory will vary with all types of jobs in memory and numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to setup transmissions using dual access and the timer.

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 Help/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.

■To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop . The LCD display asks if you want to cancel all locations or only 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 becomes 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.)
