Section 5 Other Features of this Fax

F-Code Based Relay Broadcast Communication involves the
transmission of documents to multiple, long distance destinations
by transmitting the documents through a relay station, generally
located between the initial transmitting station and the final
destinations.
This function can help you to reduce telephone costs if, for example,
the documents are transmitted from the initial transmitting station
to the relay station through an international connection and are
then transmitted from the relay station to the multiple final
destinations through a local (domestic) connection.
* The fax machine acting as the relay station must have an F-Code
Relay Box registered in advance. (Refer to “Registering New
F-Code Relay Boxes”.)
The content of such a box can be verified by printing out an
F-Code Relay Box List. (Refer to “Printing Out an F-Code Relay
Box List” on page 5-27.)
* Refer to “Sending Documents as an F-Code Based Relay
Broadcast Transmission” on page 5-25 for the procedure on acting
as the initial transmitting station and sending documents
through a relay station.

When registering the subaddress for an F-Code Relay Box, you
must use a different number than all of the box numbers used
for the Encryption Boxes and all of subaddresses that have
already been registered for F-Code Confidential Boxes.

that you register here, you will not be able to delete that box.
Therefore, you should exercise DUE CAUTION in the
management of the F-Code password.
