ADVANCED TRANSMISSION METHODS

This chapter explains advanced fax features for special situations and purposes.

SENDING THE SAME DOCUMENT TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS IN A SINGLE OPERATION (BROADCAST TRANSMISSION)

This feature is used to send a fax to multiple destinations in a single operation. The document to be transmitted is scanned into memory and then successively transmitted to the selected destinations. This feature is convenient for such purposes as distributing a report to company branches in different locations. Up to 200 destinations can be selected. When transmission to all destinations has been completed, the document is automatically cleared from memory.

If you frequently use broadcasting to send faxes to the same group of destinations, it is convenient to program

Note

those destinations into a group key. A group key is a rapid key in which multiple destinations are programmed.

 

The procedure for programming group keys is explained on page 71.

When using a group key to send a fax, the destinations programmed in the group key are counted as broadcasting destinations. For example, if five destinations are programmed in a group key and the key is touched for a broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission will have five destinations.
