Functions
Relay Request
Relay Request allows you to send a document to another fax machine
and have that fax machine in turn broadcast the document to a group
of other fax machines. This function is useful when the relay fax
machine is closer to the end fax machines than your fax machine, as it
reduces telephone line costs.
Important:
Relay Request can only be used if the intermediate relay machine is a
Sharp machine having the Relay Broadcast function.
Storing a relay group
To make a relay request, you must first store a relay group. This consists
of the fax number of the intermediate relay machine and the fax numbers
of the end receiving machines. Up to 10 different relay groups can be
stored.
♦
Fax numbers of the end receiving machines can be entered as Rapid
Key numbers, Speed Dial numbers, and/or Group Key numbers if
they have been programmed as such in the relay machine (not in
your fax machine). Check with the operator of the relay machine for
these numbers.
♦
The total number of end receiving machines which can be entered
varies with the model used as the intermediate relay machine.
Check with the operator of the relay machine to find out how many
receiving machines can be entered.
♦
A maximum of 400 digit spaces are available in your fax machine’s
memory for storing the numbers of end receiving machines. The
number of spaces occupied by each number depends on what kind
of number it is:
