Relay Broadcast

You can use the machine’s relay broadcasting feature to send a document to a remote machine, which then sends the document to multiple destinations registered in the remote machine for speed dialing. This can reduce transmission cost when the destinations are out of town or located in another country because you only need to send the document to the broadcasting machine.

The remote machine that broadcasts your document to multiple destinations is referred to as a relay station. You can specify multiple relay stations, or even ask the first station to relay your document to the secondary relay station, which then broadcasts the document to other destinations.

The following methods are available for relay broadcasting.

Fax Signals

The machine provides a unique method only for Xerox machines that have the relay broadcasting feature. Before sending a document, the remote machine that broadcasts your document needs to be registered as a relay station in a speed dial code on your machine. For more information on registering relay stations for speed dialing, refer to the Setups chapter in the System Administration Guide.

DTMF

You can manually enter DTMF codes as part of a fax number to specify a relay station and destinations that also understand DTMF codes. G3-compatible machines that allow manual sending can initiate relay broadcasting to the machine. For more information, refer to Special Characters on page 86.

F Code

Machines that support F Code and relay broadcasting features allow relay broadcasting operations using F Code. For more information, refer to F Code on page 106.

Special Characters

You can enter special characters as part of a fax number to perform many functions when dialing the number. Some characters are used only when auto dialing, such as “:”, “!”, “/”, “-”, and “=”. Depending on the setup of the telephone and communication lines, some or all of the following characters can be used.
