Broadcasting basics

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it.
In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you just
add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 230 numbers:
•30 manually-dialed numbers AND
•200 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 200 autodialer numbers
You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be
entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad-
cast and even broadcast to "hub" units for F-Code relay broadcast initiation. All of
these are explained in this chapter.
To send a broadcast fax:
1
Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as you would for a
regular fax transmission.

This means your fax machine is "reserved" for the delayed broadcast you
just programmed, but it can still be used to send and receive faxes if your
broadcast document is stored in memory.
