Batch Transmission
Overview
This feature will save communication costs if you often send more than one
message to the same location.
Example:
If various people in your office send messages to the Tokyo branch office,
sending all these messages on separate calls can be expensive. It is cheaper to
send them all together on the same call. You can further cut costs by sending out
batches during off-peak hours. To do so, simply create Keystroke Programs that
use Send Later to send to those common destinations.
Instruct people in your office to store all faxes for the Tokyo branch in the
memory, using Send Later. The selected time of transmission must be the same
for each message that you wish to include in the batch. Then, when that time
comes, the messages will all be sent out on the same call, or ’batched’.
You can set up more than one batch. In the example shown in the diagram
above, you have set up two batches; one is for destination A and one is for
destination B. In another example, you could set up a batch for Tokyo at, say, 1
am, a batch for Hong Kong at 2 am, a batch for London at 3 am, and so on.
Also, when you send a fax message, if there is a message in the memory
waiting for transmission to the same telephone number, it will be sent out with
your message. This will only happen if the message already in the memory is waiting
for retransmission (for example, because the line was busy on the first attempt).
Note: You can have up to 35 fax messages in the same batch.
Messages using Confidential Transmission cannot be put into a batch.
