Broadcasting
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple fax
numbers. Using the Menu/Set key, you can include Groups, One Touch
locations (for FAX-2800 only), 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 158
(FAX-2800) or 150 (MFC-4800) different locations from the FAX/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.
The easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys. You can include One Touch
(FAX-2800), Speed Dial, and manually dialed numbers in the same broadcast.
(See
Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting , page 7-3.)
You must press Menu/Set between each of these locations.
Use the Search/Speed Dial to help you choose the numbers easily.
After the broadcast is finished, a Broadcast Report will be printed automatically
to let you know the results.
■
Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you normally would. 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 FAX/MFC will redial the number automatically.
■
If the memory is full, press Stop/Exit to abort the job; if more than one page
has been scanned, press Fax Start to send the portion that is in the memory.
