Broadcasting - Brother MFC-8500 Owner's Manual

Broadcasting

Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax
numbers. Using the Broadcast key, you can include Groups, One Touch
locations, up to 100 Speed Dial locations, plus up to 50 manually dialed
numbers (maximum of 166 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 the number of locations used for
broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the maximum locations available,
you will not be able to set up transmissions using dual access and the timer. (See
Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting
The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys, you can include One Touch,
Speed Dial, and manually, dialed numbers in the same broadcast. You must
press Broadcast between each of these locations. Use the Telephone Index 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.
