QUICK-DIAL NUMBERS AND DIALLING OPTIONS
Broadcasting
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple
fax numbers. Using the Broadcast key, you can include up to 32 One
Touch locations, up to 100 Speed Dial locations, and up to 50 manually
dialled 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
numbers of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to more
than the maximum locations available, you will not be able to setup
transmissions using dual access and the timer.
The easiest way to broadcast is to first combine frequently used One
Touch and Speed Dial numbers as a Group, which uses up a One Touch
Key. (Remember, you can have up to six Groups and Quick-Dial
numbers can be included in more than one Group). Then by pressing
Broadcast between each location, you can include One Touch, Speed
Dial, Groups, and manual dialling (using the dial pad) in the same
broadcast. Use the Tel-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.

Press Start.
Your MFC will read the documents into memory and then start sending
faxes to all the numbers you entered.
To stop the broadcasting in progress, press Stop. The display asks if
you want to cancel all locations or just the location that is being sent
to.
Enter the long dialling 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 a connection could not be made while
broadcasting, the MFC 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).
