Relay Faxing

Relay faxing allows one fax machine to send a document to another fax machine, which then re-sends the document to a number of other locations. Two different fax machines are involved in transmitting a relay fax: the relay initiating station and the relay key station (hub).

What is an example of Relay Faxing? Imagine that you need to send a fax to a number of locations in another area code. With Relay Faxing, you (the relay initiating station) send one fax (transmission) long distance to one fax (the relay key station). The relay key station then sends the fax to all of the other faxes/locations in the area code, at local rates.

!Relay Faxing is different from group faxing. In Group Faxing, a fax is sent to a preprogrammed group of

locations directly from the fax machine.

!At this writing, the OKIFAX 2600 is the only Oki fax machine that can function as a relay key station.

Relay Initiating Station

Your fax machine can act as the relay initiating station, which starts the relay broadcast by sending the original documents.

Before you can program your fax machine to initiate a relay broadcast, you will need to obtain the following information from the operator of the unit you intend to use as a relay key station:

Relay Password

This is the 4-digit relay key word that is programmed into the relay key station.

Relay Group Numbers

These 2-digit numbers are the numbers of groups of locations programmed into the relay key station.

Relay Key Station

The relay key station is the fax unit that receives the original fax message and then automatically relays or broadcasts the message to other remote fax machines.

For this feature to be available, the relay key station must be an OKIFAX 2600.

Relay Broadcast Report

After the relay broadcast is completed, it is possible for the relay key station to send a fax back to your fax machine confirming the success of the relay broadcast. For this function to work, your fax machine’s own telephone number must be programmed into Speed Dial number 99.

!Be sure to program the number in the format the relay key station uses for dialing. For example, be sure to

include the access digit, if required.
