What is 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.
