F-CODE RELAY BROADCAST TRANSMISSION
The F-Code relay broadcast function allows the machine to act as a relay machine for a broadcast transmission. The
end receiving machines are stored in the machine's F-Code relay memory box, and when the machine receives a
relay request from another F-Code machine, it will relay the fax to all of the stored end receiving machines.
The relay machine and the originating machine that requests the relay transmission must both support F-codes;
however, the end receiving machines programmed in the F-code relay broadcast memory box do not need to support
F-codes.
The machine that originally sends the document is called the relay request machine, and the machine that has
a memory box containing the end receiving machines and which relays the received document to those
machines is called the relay machine.
The relay machine also prints the document sent by the relay request machine.
For example, corporate headquarters in Seattle wants to send the same document to branch offices in San
Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose. If the San Francisco office creates a relay broadcast memory box
and programs the Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose offices as end receiving destinations, the overall phone
charges will be lower than if the Seattle office uses the normal broadcast transmission function (page 3-2). This
function can also be combined with a timer setting (page 3-6) to take advantage of off-peak rates, allowing a further
reduction in phone charges.
Transmission by the relay machine is called "F-code relay broadcast transmission", and transmission from the
relay request machine to the relay machine is called "relay request transmission".
NOTES
This machine does not support Sharp's previous relay broadcast function, which uses the programmed sender's
number and relay ID code.
To create an F-code relay broadcast memory box and program, edit, and delete end receiving machines, refer
to pages 6-11 to 6-16. When creating a box, a passcode (SID) can be omitted.
The relay request machine only bears the expense of sending the document to the relay machine. The relay
machine bears the expense of sending the document to each of the end receiving machines.
