The basics of broadcasting

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is broadcasting. You can use broadcasting from any function requiring the entry of a fax number! That means you can perform delayed broadcasting (see right column) and even broadcasting to “hub” units for relay broadcast initiation (see next page).

In an ordinary broadcast, you send a fax as you normally would, except you add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 120 numbers (20 normally dialed numbers, plus 100 autodialer numbers).

Note: If you frequently broadcast a document to the same set of remote fax machines, you can group these units’ phone numbers together under a pro- grammable one-touch key (see page 2.28). In this way, you can initiate a broadcast at the touch of just a single button.

We’ll assume you are familiar with regular fax transmission, and shorten the instructions.

1 Insert the document and make any necessary adjustmentsl.

2 Press COM-OPTIONSonce.

3 Press ENTER. The LCD shows:

4 Enter the first fax number — a one-touch number, a speed-dial number or just a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad.

5 To add each additional fax number, press ENTER between each one to insert a comma, then enter the number as in step 3. You can include up to 120 numbers for a broadcast (see first paragraph, above).

C,9-5551204,S05

Important: Do not insert a comma after the last fax number.

Note: If you enter characters by mistake, just press CANCEL to clear them before proceeding.

6 Press START. Your fax machine will scan the document into memory and then send it to each number you have entered.

Delayed broadcasting

What if you want the broadcast to happen later? That’s the purpose of setting up a delayed broadcast.

1 Follow steps 1-5 of “The basics of braodcasting” (left column). 2 Press COM-OPTIONStwice.

2.Delayed

3 Press ENTER. The LCD shows the current date and time, such as:

Time : 01/15:10

4 Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the month and time you want the fax broadcast to occur.

Here, we set it to occur at 10:15

Time : 30/22:15

5 When finished, press ENTER to save the setting.

6 Now, press START. Your machine returns to its normal standby mode, while showing this on the LCD:

This means your fax machine is “reserved” for the delayed broadcast you just programmed.
