Broadcasting basics
The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it.
In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you add
more fax numbers. You can enter up to 330 numbers:
• 30 manually-dialed numbers AND
• 300 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 300 autodialer numbers
You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be
entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad-
cast and even broadcast to “hub” units for F-Code relay broadcast initiation. All of
these are explained in this chapter.
To send a broadcast fax:
1 Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as you would for a
regular fax transmission.
2 Press [Broadcas].
3 Enter the first fax number, as usual. Use either
a one-touch number, a speed-dial number, a call
group or a regular number dialed from the
numeric keypad.
4 To add more fax numbers, press [Broadcas]
between each one. Then enter the number as
described in step 3. You can send to up to 330
numbers for a broadcast.
Note: If you enter characters by mistake, press [Clear] to erase them.
Note: If you want to erase the fax number you’ve already entered, press
or of the cursor key to select it and press [Clear].
5 Press START . Your fax machine scans the document into memory and then
sends it to each number or call group you’ve entered.
Delayed broadcasting
What if you want the broadcast to take place later? That’s the purpose of setting up
a delayed broadcast.
Note: Delayed commands are discussed in detail later. You may want to read
“Delayed transmission” on page 3.25 before proceeding.
1 Follow steps 1–4 of “Broadcasting basics” (left column).
2 Press MENU .
3 Select “Delayed Tx” using the cursor key.
Then press [Enter]. The
LCD shows current day
and time.
4 Use the numeric keypad to enter the day of the
month and time (in 24-hour format) when you
want the broadcast to occur.
When finished, press [Enter] to save the setting.
5 Press START . Your machine will return to
standby mode, while showing this on the LCD :
This means your fax machine is “Reserved” for
the delayed broadcast you
just programmed, but it can still be used to
send and receive faxes if your broadcast docu-
ment is stored in memory.
Making changes to broadcasts
If you need to make changes in a broadcast after setting it up, use the Job Review
function. See “Reviewing or cancelling parts of a broadcast,” page 3.29.
