Other Transmission Features

Transfer Request

Transfer Request allows fax machines that have this function to automatically transfer incoming messages to multiple fax destinations. This function helps you save costs when you send the same message to more than one place in a distant area, and saves time since many messages can be sent in a single operation.

The diagram below may make the concept clearer.

The following terminologies are used in this section:

Requesting Party

The machine where the message originates.

Transfer Station

The machine that forwards the in- coming message to another desti- nation.

Receiving Station

The facsimile or computer that re- ceived the message from the Transfer Station.

Preparation

Before you can use this function, you must make the following preparations:

Program each Transfer Station number in this machine (Re- questing Party) and in the Transfer Station itself. See p.190 “Transfer Report”.

Program the same Polling ID in both this machine (Requesting Party) and the Transfer Station. See p.192 “Programming a Poll- ing ID”.

To send a Transfer Request by fax, the Transfer Station must be a fax machine of the same man- ufacturer and have the Transfer Station function.

To send a Transfer Request by e- mail, Transfer Station must be a fax machine of the same manu- facturer that supports Internet Fax.

To send a Transfer Request by IP-Fax, the Transfer Station must be a fax machine that sup- ports IP-Fax and made by the same manufacturer.

You cannot use Transfer Re- quest without programming the fax number of the Requesting Party in a Quick Dial or Speed Dial.

The Receiving Station's fax num- ber must be programmed in the Transfer Station's Quick Dial, Speed Dial or Group Dial.

Note

You can specify up to 500 Transfer Stations in a Transfer Request.

You can have up to 30 End Receiv- ers per Transfer Station. If you specify a Transfer Station's Group, the Group counts as a single re- ceiver.
