Relay Faxing
What is an example of Relay Faxing? Imagine that you need
to send a fax to a number of locations in another area code.
With Relay Faxing, you (the relay initiating station) send one
fax (transmission) long distance to another machine (the
relay key station [hub]). The relay key station (hub) then
sends the fax to all of the other machines/locations in the
area code, at local rates.
Relay faxing allows one machine to send a document to
another machine, which then forwards the document to a
number of other locations. Two different machines are
involved in transmitting a relay fax: the relay initiating
station and the relay key station (hub).
Your machine can function as an initiating station and a relay
key station (hub).
The relay key station (hub) can send a confirmation report to
the relay initiating station when the relay fax session is
complete. This confirmation report is called the Relay
Broadcast Report.
!
The relay initiating station and the relay key station
(hub) must coordinate efforts before a relay fax can be
sent.
!
Relay Faxing is different from group faxing. In Group
Faxing, a fax is sent to a preprogrammed group of
locations directly from the fax machine.
!
At this writing, the OKIFAX 2600 and the OKIFAX
5750/5950 Series are the only OKIFAX machines that
can function as relay key stations (hubs).
!
If you cannot access Relay Fax features, contact your
service dealer. A Service Function setting (Technical
Function 36) may require adjustment.
!
All machines involved in a Relay Fax should be set to
Auto Receive mode. See “Setting Basic Features,
Setting the Answering Mode.”
