4.7 Q7. How can I cut down on communications fees for sending out
data?
A7. You can use either relay distribution to forward data from a representative destination to the other desti-
nations or timer communications billed at night-time rates.
The Relay Distribution function distributes a fax to the representative destination (a relay machine) and have
the relay machine distribute the received fax to the pre-registered destinations.
If you have created groups of a relay machine and the other destinations by area, you can reduce the total
communication cost compared to the cost of broadcasting to all destinations.
For example, when sending a fax to a number of remote destinations, you can minimize the total cost of com-
munications by sending a fax to a closest relay machine and having it forward the fax to the others.
This machine can function either as a sender machine or a relay machine.
Tips
- The destination machine (the relay machine) needs to have the F-code function.
- To enable fax transmission via a relay machine, you need to set up a relay User Box on the relay ma-
chine beforehand.
In timer communications (Timer TX), setting of destinations and loading of originals are performed during the
day, followed by fax transmissions during a specified time zone late at night when communications fees are
lower.
