Using the Relay Feature

What is the Relay Feature?

From your PC or your machine, you can send documents to the End Receiving Station(s) via an Internet Relay Station.

After the Relay Station completes its transmission to the End Receiving Station, your PC or your machine receives a COMM. Journal from the Relay Station. This COMM. Journal confirms whether the Internet, or Intranet Relayed Transmission was successful.
