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
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 72.
• 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.
