F-Code Relay Broadcast Transmission - Sharp LASER PRINTER Operation Manual

F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST TRANSMISSION

The F-code relay broadcast transmission function makes it possible to program the fax numbers of end receiving machines
in an F-code relay memory box. Your machine thereby becomes a relay machine. When your machine receives a document
from another F-code machine, your machine relays (transmits) that document to each of the end receiving machines.
The relay machine and the originating machine that requests the relay transmission must both support F-codes; however,
the end receiving machines programmed in the F-code relay broadcast memory box do not need to support F-codes.
Relay request machine (sends document)
1) Document is sent from
machine requesting
relay transmission
Receiving machine A
The machine that originally sends the document is called the relay request machine, and the machine that has a
memory box containing the end receiving machines and which relays the received document to those machines
is called the relay machine.
The relay machine also prints the document sent by the relay request machine.
For example, corporate headquarters in Seattle wants to send the same document to branch offices in San Francisco,
Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose. If the San Francisco office creates a relay broadcast memory box and programs the
Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose offices as end receiving destinations, the overall phone charges will be lower than
if the Seattle office uses the normal broadcast transmission function (page 3-2). This function can also be combined
with a timer setting (page 3-4) to take advantage of off-peak rates, allowing a further reduction in phone charges.
Transmission by the relay machine is called "F-code relay broadcast transmission", and transmission from the relay
request machine to the relay machine is called "relay request transmission".
NOTES
• This machine does not support Sharp's previous relay broadcast function, which uses the programmed sender's number
and relay ID code.
• To create an F-code relay broadcast memory box and program, edit, and delete end receiving machines, refer to pages 6-10
to 6-13. When creating a box, a passcode (SID) can be omitted.
• The relay request machine only bears the expense of sending the document to the relay machine. The relay machine bears
the expense of sending the document to each of the end receiving machines.

If the Network Scanner Expansion
Kit (AR-NS2) installed and your
machine acts as a relay machine,
you can also store E-mail and
Internet-Fax destinations in the relay
broadcast memory box for relay
transmission to E-mail and Internet-
Fax recipients.
