How do I set up a group for broadcasting faxes?
Groups allow you to send the same fax message to multiple numbers (a process called broadcasting). You can store the Groups on Speed Dial locations, and then broadcast by pressing Search/Speed Dial, the two-digit Speed-Dial location, and Black Start. First, you'll need to store each fax number you wish to include in your Group as a Speed Dial number. Then, you can combine these numbers into a group. Finally, you can have up to six Groups, or you can assign up to 79 numbers to one large Group. Each Group uses one Speed Dial location. To set up a Group, please follow these steps:
- Press the Menu key.
- Press the Up or Down Arrow key to choose "Fax".
- Press the OK key to confirm your choice.
- Press the Up or Down Arrow key to choose "Set Quick-Dial".
