RELAY REQUEST TRANSMISSION USING F-CODE

Overview

You can send a document to the F-code Memory Box (Relay Broadcast) of another machine, and then force that machine to broadcast the document to multiple destinations.
For example, when you need to deliver a document to distant destinations, you can send it to a machine located near these destinations and then broadcast the document from that machine to all destinations. This process can reduce communication fees. It is more economical if you send documents at night by combination of Timer Transmission function.

  • First, check the F-code (the sub-address and passcode) being set in the F-code Memory Box of the other machine.
  • All destination data must be registered in the F-code Memory Box (Relay Broadcast) of the other machine in advance.
  • Transmission is possible regardless of whether or not the destination supports F-code.
  • Your machine (relay host station) is charged only for communication to the other machine (relay station). Communication fees for document broadcasting to all destinations is charged to the other machine (relay station).
  • You can use this function together with Broadcast Transmission or Timer Transmission when necessary. It is useful if such transmission is programmed.
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].
