Broadcasting (Not Available for Color Fax)
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax
numbers. Using the Menu/Set key, you can include Groups, Speed Dial
locations plus up to 50 manually dialed numbers. If you did not use up any
locations for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers, you can "broadcast"
faxes automatically to up to 90 different locations from the MFC. However,
available memory will vary with all types of jobs in memory and numbers of
locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more than the maximum
locations available, you will not be able to set up transmissions using Dual
Access and the Timer.
Although the easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys, you can include
Speed Dial and manually dialed numbers in the same broadcast. You must press
Menu/Set between each of these locations. Use Search/Speed Dial to help
you choose the numbers easily.
(See
Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting , page 8-3.)
After the broadcast is finished, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically
to let you know the results.
■ To stop the broadcast in progress, press Stop/Exit. The LCD asks if you want
to cancel the location that is being sent.
■ Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you normally would, but keep in
mind that each key counts as one location, so the number of locations you can
call becomes limited.
■ If the line is busy or for other reasons a connection could not be made while
broadcasting, the MFC will redial the number automatically.
■ If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to abort the job or if more than one page
has been scanned, press Black Fax Start to send the portion that is in the
memory.
