What is a “Relay Transmission”?
A relay transmission is used to send documents from your facsimile (origina-
tor) to a Hub Station, which then sends them to additional end stations. If you
have several stations in one or more regional areas (e.g. Los Angeles Metro,
New York City, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Seattle-Tacoma, etc.); you can save time
and phone charges by setting up a relay system. By sending your document
to a Hub Station, you can then instruct the Hub Station to retransmit the docu-
ment to the end stations in their local geographical area.
To perform Relay Transmissions or Relay-Relay Transmissions, you must build a
network beforehand.
Consult your authorized TOSHIBA dealer for assistance in using this function.
Conditions for a Relay/Relay-Relay Transmission Network
1. The originator station must be an ITU-T relay communication compatible fac-
simile unit such as TOSHIBA DP120F/DP125F/e-STUDIO170F.
2. The Hub Station must be an ITU-T relay communication compatible facsimile
unit with Hub Station functions such as DP120F/DP125F.
NOTE: The e-STUDIO170F can only function as an originator station.
3. The Relay Hub Station must have the end station settings pre-programmed
as a Relay Box.
4. Due to advanced planning and setup requirements for the Relay-Relay trans-
missions involving two or more Hub Station transfers, contact your autho-
rized TOSHIBA dealer for detailed instructions.

What is a “Relay-Relay Transmission”?
A Relay Transmission where two levels of Hub Stations are involved is called
a Relay-Relay Transmission. In a Relay-Relay Transmission, the first Hub
Station sends the document to another Hub Station(s) which then transmits
them to additional end stations.
