Relay Request

Relay Request

Relay Request allows you to send a document to another fax machine and have that fax machine in turn broadcast the document to a group of other fax machines. This function is useful when the relay fax machine is closer to the end fax machines than your fax machine, as it reduces telephone line costs.

Important:

Relay Request can only be used if the intermediate relay machine is a Sharp machine having the Relay Broadcast function.

Storing a relay group

To make a relay request, you must first store a relay group. This consists of the fax number of the intermediate relay machine and the fax numbers of the end receiving machines. Up to 10 different relay groups can be stored.

Fax numbers of the end receiving machines can be entered as Rapid Key numbers, Speed Dial numbers, and/or Group Key numbers if they have been programmed as such in the relay machine (not in your fax machine). Check with the operator of the relay machine for these numbers.

The total number of end receiving machines which can be entered varies with the model used as the intermediate relay machine. Check with the operator of the relay machine to find out how many receiving machines can be entered.

A maximum of 400 digit spaces are available in your fax machine’s memory for storing the numbers of end receiving machines. The number of spaces occupied by each number depends on what kind of number it is:
