Broadcasting
Relay Broadcast Initiation
Broadcasting is a fax function allowing one fax machine to send one fax
document to numerous other machines with a minimum of trouble for the user.
While your machine doesn’t do broadcasting, it can perform relay broadcast
initiation. In this process, your fax machine transmits a document to a high-
volume “hub” Muratec fax machine and specifies a call group ---- a designated
group of fax numbers stored in that machine’s autodialer ---- to which the hub fax
machine should broadcast the document. The remote fax then receives your
document, stores the document in memory and retransmits the document to each
number in the designated group of fax numbers stored in that machine’s
autodialer. (So, of course, you’ll have to know the proper call group number in
order to do this.)
To initiate a relay broadcast:
1. Insert the document and press program , 3 .

3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of the call group to which you
want the hub fax machine to broadcast the document. (You can specify the
group from 00 to 32 for each relay broadcast initiation. “00” means all group
numbers.)
To enter more than one group, press program after entering a group number.
When the group number resets to the above display, enter the next group
number. Do not press

speed-dial number or simply enter a number on the numeric keypad.)
To begin relay broadcast initiation, skip to step 7. To perform delayed relay
broadcast initiation, go to step 6.
6. To perform delayed relay broadcast initiation, press program . Use the
numeric keypad to enter the date and time when your fax machine should to
the delayed relay broadcast initiation. If you want to change a just one number
in date or time, use the one-touch key

sequence. Use the one-touch key b to move forward (rightward).
