Delayed Batch Transmission
Before sending the delayed faxes, your Brother machine will economize
by sorting all the documents in memory by destination and scheduled
time. All delayed faxes scheduled at the same time to the same fax number
will be sent as one transmission.

Broadcasting
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple
fax numbers. Using the
Help/Broadcast key, you can include Groups, One
Touch locations, up to 100 Speed Dial locations, and up to 50 manually
dialed numbers (maximum of 182 locations if you did not use up any
locations for Groups, access codes or credit card numbers). However,
available memory will vary with the types of jobs in memory and the
number 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. (See Setting Up Groups for
Broadcasting, page 7-3.)
Although the easiest way to broadcast is to press Group keys, you can
include One Touch, Speed Dial, and manually, dialed numbers in the same
broadcast. You must press
Help/Broadcast between each of these locations. Use
the Telephone Index to help you choose the numbers easily.
After the broadcast is completed, a Broadcast Report will be printed
automatically to let you know the results.
■ To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop . The LCD display asks if
you want to cancel all locations or 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 become limited.
■ If the line is busy or for some other reasons a connection could not be
made while broadcasting, the machine will redial the number
automatically.
■ If the memory is full, press Stop to abort the job or press Start to send the
portion that is in the memory (if more than one page has been scanned).
