Mail Broadcasting (E-Mail And G3 Fax Are Combined) - Gestetner B147 Service Manual

4.2.3 MAIL BROADCASTING (E-MAIL AND G3 FAX ARE
COMBINED)
IFAX
The machine can send the same message to several destinations in one operation.
Some destinations can be G3 faxes and others can be e-mail. For the G3 fax
transmissions, each address has to be dialed separately. However, all e-mail
addresses can be sent with the message to the SMTP server in one transmission.
The SMTP server then sends the message to each destination.
The following example for broadcasting to three e-mail destinations and two G3 fax
destinations shows how G3 fax messages are each sent individually. However, the
e-mail destinations are all sent to the server at the same time.
• Order of inputting the addresses at the operation panel
G3 fax (1) - mail (1) - G3 fax (2) - mail (2) - mail (3)
• Order of transmission
G3 fax (1) - mail (1), (2), (3) - G3 fax (2)
The SMTP server cannot broadcast the message if the message contents included
individual information for each terminal in the transmitted data (such as a label
insertion). If this type of feature is used, the machine sends the e-mails to the
server one by one.
With the default settings, up to 500 destinations (including both e-mail and G3 fax)
can be dialed for one broadcast. The maximum number of e-mail destinations in a
broadcast depends on the limitations of the mail server.
