Broadcasting; Real Time Transmission - Brother FAX-2890 Advanced User's Manual

Chapter 3

Broadcasting

Broadcasting lets you send the same fax
message to more than one fax number. You
can include Groups, One Touch, Speed Dial
numbers and up to 50 manually dialled
numbers in the same broadcast.
You can broadcast up to 272 different
numbers. This will depend on how many
Groups, access codes or credit card numbers
you have stored, and on how many delayed
or stored faxes in memory.
Before you begin the broadcast
One Touch and Speed Dial numbers must be
stored in the machine's memory before they
can be used in a broadcast. (See Basic
User's Guide: Storing One Touch Dial
numbers and Storing Speed Dial numbers.)
Group numbers must also be stored in the
machine's memory before they can be used
in a broadcast. Group numbers include many
stored One Touch Dial and Speed Dial
numbers for easier dialling. (See Setting up
Groups for Broadcasting uu page 26.)
