Broadcasting

The basics of broadcasting

The fastest way to fax one document to multiple recipients is
broadcasting — and your fax machine has very powerful broadcasting
capabilities. You can use broadcasting for any function requiring
the entry of a fax number. That means you can perform delayed
broadcasting (see next page), SecureMail broadcasting (see pages 155-
161) and even broadcasting to "hub" units for relay broadcast initiation
(see pages 113-116).
In an ordinary broadcast, you send as you normally would, except for one
simple change: you just add more fax numbers! You can enter up to 220
numbers (20 normally dialed numbers plus either 200 autodialer numbers
or one call group with all 200 autodialer numbers.
We'll assume you've become familiar with regular fax transmission, and
shorten the instructions a bit so you can more readily see the differences.
1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
If it is Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.
2. Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as usual.
3. Press BROADCAST.
4. Enter the first fax number — a one-touch number, a speed-dial
number, a call group or just a regular number dialed from the
numeric keypad as usual.
5. To add each successive fax number, press BROADCAST between
each one to insert a comma (GROUP DIAL inserts its own comma),
then enter the number as in step 4. You can specify up to 220
numbers (see first paragraph, above) for a broadcast.
Press Start
[01], 9-5551204, S118
Important: Do not insert a comma after the last fax number.
Note: If you enter characters by mistake, just press CANCEL
to clear them before proceeding.
6. Press START. Your fax machine will scan the document into memory
and then send it to each number or call group you've entered.
