Other Transmission Features

Broadcasting Sequence

If you dial several destinations for the same message (Broadcasting), the messages are sent in the order in which they were dialed. If the document could not be transmitted, the machine redials that destination after the last destination specified for Broadcasting. For example, if you

3 specify four destinations, A through D for Broadcasting, and if the lines to destinations A and C are busy, the machine dials the destinations in the following order: A, B, C, D, A, and C.

Note

❒The dialing order mentioned above does not apply in the Batch Transmission mode.

❒For details about Broadcasting, see p.29 “Transmission Modes”, <Ba- sic Features>.

Simultaneous Broadcast

Normally, if you dial several destina- tions, the messages are sent in the order in which they were dialed. However, with this feature, you can send messages to more than one destination simultaneously, using separate communication lines.

You can complete the entire transmission in a shorter time with this feature than with Broadcasting.

Note

❒This feature requires the optional Extra G3 Interface Unit or the op- tional ISDN Unit.

❒Up to two lines can be used simul- taneously. When the optional Ex- tra G3 Interface Unit is installed, it is more efficient to set the line type of the destination to "Auto" so that the transmission is made with the available G3 line.

Sending a Fax Message Immediately

When you wish to send a fax straight away, use Immediate Transmission.

If a Memory Transmission is in progress, the display will switch to transmission standby and as soon as the current transmission has finished, the Immediate Transmission will start automatically.

If you are already sending to more than one destination with Memory Transmission and your document has already been scanned in, Broadcasting is interrupted to allow the Immediate Transmission to be sent.

However, if a transmission other than the current transmission is on stand- by, that document is sent first causing your Immediate Transmission to take a little longer.

Broadcasting: Checking Progress

To check which destinations the fax message has been sent to so far, print the TX File List. See p.43 “Printing a List of Files in Memory (Print TX File List)”.
