ADVANCED FEATURES
NETWORKING
Overview
This section explains how you can use this machine to distribute fax messages
over networks of fax machines.
As we have seen (Sending to More Than One Location, page 19), you can send
the same fax message directly from your machine to more than one location. The
diagram in that section shows your machine sending the same fax message to
three locations. This feature is commonly known as Broadcasting.
However, with Broadcasting, you or your organization has to pay for three fax
calls. If these are all long distance calls, that can be quite expensive. If you use
the networking features provided with this machine, you will be able to reduce
costs by sending the fax message only once, to a Transfer Station, and that
Transfer Station will distribute your fax message.
Broadcasting
You can take advantage of your machine's Group Dial, Broadcasting, and Transfer
Request features to set up extensive facsimile networks. Such networks can save
time and cost if you set them up to perform commonly-used broadcasting
operations, especially if long-distance communications are involved.
