SENDING THE SAME FAX TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS (BROADCASTING)

Overview

You can send the same scanned image to Scanner mode, Internet Fax mode, and Fax mode destinations in a single operation. This is called the "broadcasting".
You can transmit to as many as 500 destinations in one broadcast operation.

  • If the original is in color and the color mode is set to "Full Color", the original is sent in Mono2 to Internet fax or fax mode destinations.
  • A long original is sent in black and white.
  • Various fax destinations can be specified together. If the [Send Same Image as Fax Address] checkbox ([Send Same Image as I-Fax Address] checkbox when only Internet Fax expansion kit has been installed) 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 the Scan to E-mail function.
If a Scan to FTP or Network Folder address is specified, you cannot use the hyperlink e-mail transmission.
To register destinations in a contact or group:
In the base screen or address book screen, tap the [Register/Edit Address] key on the action panel, or tap the [Address Control] icon on the home screen. For details, see "STORING ADDRESSES THROUGH DIRECT ENTRY", "STORING ADDRESSES THROUGH GLOBAL ADDRESS SEARCH", "STORING ADDRESSES FROM FAX OR IMAGE SEND LOGS" or "STORING GROUPS".

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), only the destination of the currently selected mode is called among the destinations being set by [Set as Default used]. However, if this checkbox is set to , you can call a destination of another mode as well.
