Batch Transmission
This feature will save communication
costs if you often send more than one
message to the same location.
If various people in your office send
messages to the Tokyo branch office,
sending all these messages on sepa-
rate calls can be expensive. It is cheap-
er 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 Key-
stroke Programs that use Send Later
to send to those common destina-
tions.
Instruct people in your office to store
all faxes for the Tokyo branch in the
memory, using Send Later. The se-
lected 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 an 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 messag-
es in the same batch.
