Relay Faxing

Relay faxing allows one fax machine to send a document to
another fax machine, which then re-sends the document to a
number of other locations. Two different fax machines are
involved in transmitting a relay fax: the relay initiating station
and the relay key station (hub).
What is an example of Relay Faxing? Imagine that you need
to send a fax to a number of locations in another area code.
With Relay Faxing, you (the relay initiating station) send one
fax (transmission) long distance to one fax (the relay key
station). The relay key station then sends the fax to all of the
other faxes/locations in the area code, at local rates.
!
Relay Faxing is different from group faxing. In Group
Faxing, a fax is sent to a preprogrammed group of
locations directly from the fax machine.
!
At this writing, the OKIFAX 2600 is the only Oki fax
machine that can function as a relay key station.
Relay Initiating Station
Your fax machine can act as the relay initiating station, which
starts the relay broadcast by sending the original documents.
Before you can program your fax machine to initiate a relay
broadcast, you will need to obtain the following information
from the operator of the unit you intend to use as a relay key
station:

60 Handbook
Relay Password
This is the 4-digit relay key word that is programmed into
the relay key station.
Relay Group Numbers
These 2-digit numbers are the numbers of groups of locations
programmed into the relay key station.
Relay Key Station
The relay key station is the fax unit that receives the original
fax message and then automatically relays or broadcasts the
message to other remote fax machines.
For this feature to be available, the relay key station must be
an OKIFAX 2600.

Relay Broadcast Report

After the relay broadcast is completed, it is possible for the
relay key station to send a fax back to your fax machine
confirming the success of the relay broadcast. For this
function to work, your fax machine's own telephone number
must be programmed into Speed Dial number 99.
!
Be sure to program the number in the format the relay
key station uses for dialing. For example, be sure to
include the access digit, if required.
