ADVANCED TRANSMISSION
METHODS
This chapter explains advanced features that are designed for specific purposes and circumstances. Please read
those sections that are of interest to you.
SENDING THE SAME DOCUMENT TO
MULTIPLE DESTINATIONS IN A SINGLE
OPERATION
(BROADCAST TRANSMISSION)
This feature is used to send a fax to multiple destinations in a single operation. The original to be transmitted is
scanned into memory and then successively transmitted to the selected destinations. This feature is convenient for
such purposes as distributing a report to company branches. Up to 200 destinations can be selected. When
transmission to all destinations has been completed, the document is automatically cleared from memory.
• If you frequently use broadcasting to send faxes to the same group of destinations, it is convenient to program
those destinations into a group key. Group key dialling is an automatic dialling function whereby multiple
destinations (Rapid keys, Speed Dial numbers, and full fax numbers entered with the numeric keys) are
programmed into a Rapid key. The procedure for programming group keys is explained on page 66.
• When a group key is used to send a fax, the fax is broadcast (transmitted) to the destinations programmed in
the group key. For example, if five destinations are programmed in a group key and the key is pressed for a
broadcast transmission, the broadcast transmission will have five destinations.
