The fastest way to fax one document to many recipients is to broadcast it.
In an ordinary broadcast, you send the fax as you normally would, except you just
add more fax numbers. You can enter up to 230 numbers:
• 30 manually-dialed numbers AND
• 200 autodialer numbers OR 1 call group with all 200 autodialer numbers
You can broadcast using any function that requires a fax number to be
entered. That means you can send a delayed broadcast, program a polling broad-
cast and even broadcast to “hub” units for F-Code relay broadcast initiation. All of
these are explained in this chapter.
To send a broadcast fax:
1
Insert the document and make any necessary adjustments as you would for a
regular fax transmission.
2
Press
BROADCAST
.
3
Enter the first fax number, as usual. Use either a one-touch number, a speed-
dial number, a call group or a regular number dialed from the numeric keypad.
4
To add more fax numbers, press
BROADCAST
between each one to insert a
comma. Then enter the number as described in step 3 (pressing one-touch key and
SPEED DIAL
/
GROUP
inserts its own comma). You can send up to 230 numbers for
a broadcast.
Important: Do not insert a comma after the last fax number.
Note: If you enter characters by mistake, press
CANCEL
to erase them.

. Your fax machine scans the document into memory and then
sends it to each number or call group you’ve entered.
Delayed broadcasting
What if you want the broadcast to take place later? That’s the purpose of setting up
a delayed broadcast.
Note: Delayed commands are discussed on pages 2.6–2.8. And you may want to
read “Delayed transmission” on page 3.10 before proceeding.

return to standby mode, while showing this on the

This means your fax machine is “reserved” for the delayed broadcast you
just programmed, but it can still be used to send and receive faxes or to make
copies if your broadcast document is stored in memory.
Reviewing or canceling parts of a broadcast
If you need to review or cancel a broadcast you set, see “Reviewing or canceling
parts of a broadcast,” page 2.7.
