What is a “Relay Transmission”?
A relay transmission is used to send documents from your facsimile (originator) to a Hub Station,
which then sends them to additional end stations. If you have several stations in one or more regional
areas (e.g. Los Angeles Metro, New York City, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Seattle-Tacoma, etc.); you can save
time and phone charges by setting up a relay system. By sending your document to a Hub Station,
you can then instruct the Hub Station to retransmit the document to the end stations in their local
geographical area.

A Relay Transmission where two levels of Hub Stations are involved is called a Relay-Relay

Hub Station(s) which then transmits them to additional end stations.
