Reception Functions
Transfer Station
Transfer Stations allow you to expand
the standard functions of your fax
machine to set up complex networks.
The diagram below may make the
concept clearer.
The following terminologies are used
in this section:
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Requesting Party
The machine where the message
originates.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Transfer Station (this machine)
The machine that forwards the in-
coming message to another desti-
nation.
❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ End Receiver
The final destination of the mes-
sage, that is the machine the Trans-
fer Station sends to. End Receivers
must be programmed into a Quick
Dial or Groups in the Transfer Sta-
tion.
Limitation
❒ Polling ID's of the Requesting Par-
ty and Transfer Station must be
identical for this function to work.
❒ A Transfer Request cannot be sent
if the fax number of the transfer
station (this machine) is not pro-
grammed as a Quick Dial.
❒ If your line number is not regis-
tered at the Transfer Station, recep-
tion will not take place. See p.169
“Transfer Report”.
❒ If the Requesting Party specifies a
Group for the End Receivers and
the total number of End Receivers
exceeds 500, the Transfer Station
cannot transfer the message and
sends a Transfer Result Report to
the Requesting Party.
❒ See "Registering Destination to a
Group", General Settings Guide.
- - - -Multistep transfer
The principles of Transfer Stations
can be used to build up a multi-step
facsimile network where messages
are passed through several Transfer
Stations. By programming the End
Receivers in a Transfer Station Group,
you can enable this machine to trans-
fer messages onto other Transfer Sta-
tions.
For more information, contact your
service representative.
This function can only be used if the
machines are made by the same man-
ufacturer.
