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.
