Send the same fax to multiple numbers at once. (Broadcasting)

To Broadcast a fax, follow these instructions:

  3. Press the UP OR DOWN ARROW key to choose On.

  4. Press the MENU/SET key.

  5. Press 2.

  6. Enter the fax numbers you want to Broadcast to:

    • If you want to include a One-Touch number or a Group stored on a One-Touch number in the Broadcast, press the One-Touch key on which you have stored the number or Group.

    • If you want to include a Speed Dial number or a Group stored on a Speed Dial number in the Broadcast, follow these steps:

      1. Press the SEARCH/SPEED DIAL key.

      2. Press the # key.

      3. Use the dial pad to enter the two-digit Speed Dial number you want to include.
