The basics of broadcasting

The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is broadcasting. You can
use broadcasting from any
function requiring the entry of a fax number!
That means you can perform delayed broadcasting (see right column) and even
broadcasting to “hub” units for relay broadcast initiation (see next page).
In an ordinary broadcast, you send a fax as you normally would, except you add
more fax numbers. You can enter up to 120 numbers (20 normally dialed numbers,
plus 100 autodialer numbers).

Note: If you frequently broadcast a document to the same set of remote fax

machines, you can group these units’ phone numbers together under a pro-
grammable one-touch key (see page 2.28). In this way, you can initiate a
broadcast at the touch of just a single button.

We’ll assume you are familiar with regular fax transmission, and shorten the
instructions.
