What is a Group Fax?

If you often send a fax to many fixed locations, setting up these locations as a group will save time.

A group fax is a fax sent to several locations.

A group fax is meant to be repeated.

The group (a collection of destination numbers [where the fax is going to] IS saved (programmed) into the machine.

You can create up to 20 different groups of telephone numbers.

Each group may have a maximum of 190 locations.

Each group is listed by a group dial number.

Example of a Group

Let’s imagine that you work with a team of several co- workers. Each co-worker is at a unique geographic location. You have programmed each co-worker’s fax number as a One- Touch key. Your group would be the collection of all of the co-workers’ fax numbers.

When would you use a group? Let’s imagine that you must send a weekly status report to all of your co-workers on the team. Using the group feature allows you to send the one report to all of the co-workers’ locations.

!Faxing to a group is different from relay broadcasting. In relay broadcasting, one fax is sent to a remote

machine. The remote machine then relays the fax to a group of fax numbers.
