Ricoh FAX5600L - Manual (Page 105)

Two-step Transfer
Digital Link
If your machine (A), in Sacramento in the above example, does not have access
to a digital network, it can use a digital link between San Francisco (B) and Tokyo
(C) to send a fax message to various locations in Japan (D to F). This speeds up
communication and reduces costs. Terminals B and C must be G4 fax machines
from the same manufacturer, must have the Two-step Transfer feature, and must
have programmed a number known as the Next Transfer Station.
The Next Transfer Station is a feature that is provided when you install the optional G4 ISDN
kit. For details on this feature and how to program it, see page 235.
To start the operation, the user at terminal A makes a transfer request, specifying
terminal B as the transfer station and stations D to F as end receivers. B will send
the message to C, and C will then distribute it to D, E, and F.
Note that the following programming must be done in terminals B and C if
Two-step Transfer is to work using a digital link.
❐ The ID codes of terminals A, B, and C must be the same.
❐ The fax number of terminal C must be stored in terminal B as the Next Transfer
Station.
❐ The fax number of terminal B must be stored in terminal C as the Next Transfer
Station.
❐ Terminals B and C may need adjustment; contact a service technician.
If the line between A and B is Group 3 (analog), then the lines from C to D, C to
E, and C to F must also be Group 3, unless the operation was done using
Groups stored in terminal C; in that case, the destinations (D, E, F) can be a
mixture of Group 3 and Group 4 terminals.
If the line between A and B is digital, the destinations can be a mixture of Group 3
and Group 4 terminals.
