6.5.1 Relay distribution
This function saves a fax document to be transmitted in a relay station, and then transmit it to destinations
from the relay station. If broadcasting to remote recipients frequently occurs, the overall communications
cost can be reduced by grouping a relay station and destinations by area, compared to individual
transmissions.
A fax machine that functions as a relay station to which relay request is issued is referred to as a relay
instruction station.
A fax machine that receives faxes from a relay instruction station and relays it on is referred to as a relay
distribution station.
This relay distribution function is available only when the relay distribution machine is a model having the F-
code functions.
