Batch Transmission

Batch Transmission

This feature will save communication costs if you often send more than one message to the same location.

If various people in your office send messages to the Tokyo branch office, sending all these messages on sepa- rate calls can be expensive. It is cheap- er to send them all together on the same call. You can further cut costs by sending out batches during off-peak hours. To do so, simply create Key- stroke Programs that use Send Later to send to those common destina- tions.

Instruct people in your office to store all faxes for the Tokyo branch in the memory, using Send Later. The se- lected time of transmission must be the same for each message that you wish to include in the batch. Then, when that time comes, the messages will all be sent out on the same call, or ‘batched’.

You can set up more than one batch. In an example, you could set up a batch for Tokyo at, say, 1 am, a batch for Hong Kong at 2 am, a batch for London at 3 am, and so on.

Also, when you send a fax message, if there is a message in the memory waiting for transmission to the same telephone number, it will be sent out with your message. This will only happen if the message already in the memory is waiting for retransmission (for example, because the line was busy on the first attempt).

Note

❒You can have up to 35 fax messag- es in the same batch.
