Broadcasting - Brother MFC-4800 User Manual

Broadcasting

Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax
numbers. Using the Menu/Set key, you can include Groups, One Touch
locations (FAX models only), Speed Dial locations plus up to 50 manually
dialed numbers. If you did not use up any locations for Groups, access codes or
credit card numbers, you can "broadcast" faxes automatically to up to 178
(FAX-2900 and FAX-3800), 158 (FAX-2800) or 150 (MFC-4800) different
locations from the FAX/MFC. However, available memory will vary with all
types of jobs in memory and numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you
broadcast to more than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to
set up transmissions using dual access and the timer.
The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys. You can include One Touch
(FAX models only), Speed Dial, and manually dialed numbers in the same
broadcast. (See
You must press Menu/Set between each of these locations.

After the broadcast is finished, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically
to let you know the results.
