Relay Faxing - Oki OKIFAX 5780 User Manual

Relay Faxing

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 another machine (the
relay key station [hub]). The relay key station (hub) then
sends the fax to all of the other machines/locations in the
area code, at local rates.
Relay faxing allows one machine to send a document to
another machine, which then forwards the document to a
number of other locations. Two different machines are
involved in transmitting a relay fax: the relay initiating
station and the relay key station (hub).
The OKIFAX 5780 machine can function as an initiating
station.
The OKIFAX 5980 machine can function as an initiating
station and a relay key station (hub).
The relay key station (hub) can send a confirmation report to
the relay initiating station when the relay fax session is
complete. This confirmation report is called the Relay
Broadcast Report.
!
The relay initiating station and the relay key station
(hub) must coordinate efforts before a relay fax can be
sent.
!
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, OKIFAX 5750/5950
Series, and OKIFAX 5980 are the only OKIFAX
machines that can function as relay key stations (hubs).
!
If you cannot access Relay Fax features, contact your
service dealer. A Service Function setting (Technical
Function 36) may require adjustment.
!
All machines involved in a Relay Fax should be set to
Auto Receive mode. See "Setting Basic Features,
Setting the Answering Mode."
