Receiving a Fax Message

Reception Functions

Transfer Station

Transfer Stations allow you to expand
the standard features of your fax ma-
chine to set up complex networks.
Transfer Stations must be machines of
the same make.

Preparation
Store the end receiver fax numbers
beforehand in the transfer station's
Quick Dials,
Groups.
The following terminology is used in
this section.
Requesting Party
The machine where the message
originates from, i.e. the machine
making a Transfer Request.
Transfer Station
The machine that forwards the in-
coming message to another desti-
nation, i.e. the machine that
receives the Transfer Request. In
this section this refers to your ma-
chine.

sage, i.e. the machine that the

Transfer Station
End Receiver
End Receiver

Speed Dials
Transfer Station sends to. End Re-
ceivers must be programmed into
Quick Dials,
Groups in the Transfer Station
(this machine).
Limitation
Polling ID's of the Requesting Par-
ty and Transfer Station must be
identical for this feature to work.
This machine will not receive a
Transfer Request unless it has
enough free memory to store two
or more destinations dialed from
the number keys.
If one of the specified end receivers
is not registered in the transfer sta-
tion, the transfer is halted.
If the Requesting Party specifies a
Group for the End Receivers and
the total number of End Receivers
exceeds 250, the Transfer Station
cannot transfer the message and
sends a Transfer Result Report to
or
the Requesting Party.

Multi-step Transfer
The principles of Transfer Stations
can be used to build up a multi-
step facsimile network where mes-
sages are passed through several
Transfer Stations. By program-
ming the end receivers in a Trans-
fer Station Group, you can enable
this machine to transfer messages
onto other Transfer Stations.
For more information, contact
your service representative.
This feature can only be used if the
machines are made by the same
maker.
