The fastest way to fax one document to many recipient s 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 A N D
200 autodialer numbers O R 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 broadcast and even
broadcast to hub unit s for F-Code relay broadcast initiation . All of these are explained
in this chapter.

regular fax transmission.
