Basic operation
The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it.
In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you just
add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 330 numbers:
• 30 manually-dialed numbers AND
• 300 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 300 autodialer numbers
You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be
entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad-
cast and even broadcast to “hub” units for F-Code relay broadcast initiation. All of
these are explained in this chapter.
To send a broadcast fax:
1
Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as you would for a
regular fax transmission.
2
Press
BROADCAST
.
3
Enter the first fax number, as usual. Use either a one-touch number, a speed-
dial number, a call group or a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad.
4
To add more fax numbers, press
BROADCAST
. Then enter the number as described
in step 3. You can send to up to 330 numbers for a broadcast.
Note: If you enter characters by mistake, press
CANCEL
to erase them.
Note: If you want to review the numbers you entered, press [Review].
If you want to erase any number, move the cursor on it and press
[Erase].
When you are finished, press [Return] to return to the previous dis-
play.
5
Press
START
. Your fax machine scans the document into memory and then
sends it to each number or call group you’ve entered.
Delayed broadcasting
What if you want the broadcast to take place later? That’s the purpose of setting up
a delayed broadcast.
Note: Delayed commands are discussed on pages 3.21–3.24. And you may want to
read “Delayed transmission” on page 3.11 before proceeding.
