Broadcasting

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it.
In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you just
add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 230 numbers:
• 30 manually-dialed numbers AND
• 200 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 200 autodialer numbers
You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be
entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad-
cast and even broadcast to "hub" units for relay broadcast initiation F-Code. All of
these are explained in this chapter.
