CHAPTER SIX
Broadcasting
Broadcasting is automatically sending the same fax message to multiple
fax numbers. Using the Help/Broadcast key, you can include up to 24
One Touch locations, up to 100 Speed Dial locations, and up to 50
manually dialled numbers (maximum of 174 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
Help/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 machine 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 become limited.
■ If the line is busy or a connection could not be made for some other
reasons while broadcasting, the machine will redial the number
automatically.
