Broadcasting
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax numbers. Using the
Broadcast key, you can include up to 32 One Touch locations, up to 100 Speed Dial locations, and
up to 50 manually dialled numbers (maximum of 182 locations if you did not use up any locations
for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers). However, available memory will vary with the
types of jobs in memory and numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more
than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to setup transmissions using dual access
and the timer.
The easiest way to broadcast is to first combine frequently used One Touch and Speed Dial numbers
as a Group, which uses up a One Touch key or a Speed Dial #. (Remember, you can have up to six
Groups and Quick Dial numbers can be included in more than one Group). Then by pressing
Broadcast between each location, you can include One Touch, Speed Dial, Groups, and manual
dialling (using the dial pad) in the same broadcast. Use Search/Speed Dial to help you choose the
numbers easily.
After the broadcast is completed, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically to let you know
the results.

I To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop/Exit. The display asks if you
want to cancel all locations or just the location that is being sent to.
I Enter the long dialling sequence numbers as you normally would, but keep in
mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can
call becomes limited.
I If the line is busy or a connection could not be made for some other reasons
while broadcasting, the machine will redial the number automatically.
I If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to abort the job or press Fax Start to send
the portion that is in the memory (if more than one page has been scanned).
