RELAY REQUEST TRANSMISSION USING F-CODES
Overview
This function sends a fax to an F-code relay broadcast memory box in another machine and have that machine relay the fax to multiple destination machines.
When the destination machines are far from your machine, sending the fax to a relay machine that is close to the destination machines can help reduce telephone charges. A relay request transmission can be used in combination with the timer transmission function to further reduce cost.

- F-code (sub-address and passcode) and the destination in the F-code relay broadcast memory box of the recipient machine should be verified by the recipient in advance.
- Before using this function, program the destination machines in the F-code relay broadcast memory box in the relay machine.
- It is not necessary for the destination machines to support F-code communication.
- Your machine (the machine that requests a relay broadcast transmission) only bears the cost of sending the fax to the relay machine. The relay machine bears the cost of sending the fax to each of the destination machines.
- If necessary, this function can be used in combination with a broadcast transmission or timer transmission. It is convenient to store this function in a program.
When faxes forwarded using this function are printed at the forwarding destination, the date and time of reception cannot be printed on the faxes. ("Receiving Date & Time Print" is disabled.)
To create F-code memory boxes:
In "Setting mode", select [System Settings]→[F-Code Memory Box].
Operation
Place the original.
Place the original in the document feeder tray of the automatic document feeder, or on the document glass.
Specify the destination.
If the sub-address and passcode are stored in the one-touch key, it is not necessary to take steps 3 to 5. Go to step 6.
Tap the [Sub Address] key.
Enter "/".
Enter the sub-address using the numeric keys.
Tap the [Sub Address] key.
Enter "/".
If a passcode has been omitted in the memory box of the destination machine, it is not necessary to take steps 6 and 7.
Tap the [Start] key.
Tap the [Preview] key to check the preview of an image before sending a fax. For more information, see "CHECKING THE IMAGE TO BE TRANSMITTED".
Scanning begins.
- If you inserted the original pages in the document feeder tray, all pages are scanned.
A beep will sound to indicate that scanning and transmission have ended. - If you placed the original on the document glass, scan each page one at a time.
When scanning finishes, place the next original and tap the [Start] key. Repeat until all pages have been scanned and then tap the [Read-End] key.
A beep will sound to indicate that scanning and transmission have ended.
When the relay machine receives the fax, it will automatically transfer the fax to the destination machines programmed in the memory box.
