Using fax destination shortcuts

Fax destination shortcuts are just like the speed dial numbers on a telephone or fax machine. You can assign shortcut
numbers when creating permanent fax destinations. Permanent fax destinations or speed dial numbers are created in
the Manage Destinations link located under the Configuration tab on the Embedded Web Server. A shortcut number
(1–99999) can contain a single recipient or multiple recipients. By creating a group fax destination with a shortcut
number, you can quickly and easily fax broadcast information to an entire group.
For information on creating shortcuts, see the section in this chapter on creating shortcuts.
