SENDING THE SAME FAX TO MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS(BROADCAST TRANSMISSION)

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".
One operation allows you to send data to up to 500 destinations, including the reserved send jobs. (For example, if broadcast transmission jobs with 450 destinations are already reserved, data can be broadcasted to up to 50 destinations.)

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.
For broadcast transmission, the contact or group key can be simply tapped to retrieve multiple fax numbers.
You can also send faxes with the one-touch key by setting the [Set to the address as usually used] checkbox to when addresses are registered. If you wish to temporarily remove a destination from the stored addresses, open the detail confirmation screen and remove the destination in the screen.

When a one-touch key is used to dial, the number of fax numbers that are dialed is the number of destinations that are stored in the one-touch key. When a one-touch key that has 10 destinations is used, 10 fax numbers are dialed.

  • 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 also sent in black and white.
  • If you wish to send the same image as fax to all destinations, tap the [Send Same Image as Fax Address] key on the action panel.
