SENDING THE SAME FAX TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS (BROADCASTING)

Overview

You can send a fax to multiple destinations in a single operation when, for example, sending a report to branch offices in different regions. This function is called "Broadcasting".
You can transmit to as many as 500 destinations in one broadcast operation.

  • Broadcast transmission is available only for memory transmission.
  • If this function is combined with "Timer Transmission", broadcast transmission can be performed at any time, such as at night.
    A broadcast transmission can also be used in combination with other convenient functions.
  • The broadcast transmission can include Scan to E-mail and Internet fax destinations. If the [Send Same Image as Fax Address] checkbox is set to , the same image as that sent by the fax is sent even to the destination which supports the color transmission such as Scan to E-mail function.
  • Even if a color original is being used, it will be sent to fax and Internet fax destinations in black and white.
  • A long original is sent in black and white.

Tips on using the broadcasting

It is convenient to store destinations you frequently use for broadcast transmission as contacts or groups. Maximum of 500 destinations can be stored in a contact or group.
Tapping the one-touch key for a registered group allows you to retrieve multiple contacts at once.
For contacts, set the [Set as Default used] checkbox to for multiple fax numbers, and you can retrieve them by simply touching the key.
If you select [System Settings] in "Setting mode (administrator)" → [Image Send Settings] → [Operation Settings] → [Default Settings] → [Address Book Default Selection] and if you set the [Apply Addresses of Sending Modes Only] checkbox is set to (factory default), any fax destinations that are set with [Set as Default used] are retrieved. However, if this checkbox is set to , a destination for a different job can be retrieved.
