Relay Broadcast (Transmitting Documents Through a Relay Station)
The Relay Broadcast feature transmits documents to multiple recipients via other fax
machines (relay stations). When a document is to be transmitted over a long distance
to multiple recipients, it is first transmitted to one relay station and from there to multiple
recipients. When you transmit documents over a long distance to many recipients,
using Relay Broadcast can save on transmission cost.
Furthermore, multiple Relay Broadcast operations can be performed simultaneously.
This is called Multiple Relay Broadcast.
Note • For IP Fax (SIP), only Relay Broadcast with the F Code method is available.
The following three methods are available for Relay Broadcast:
Fax Signal Method
This method employs a Fuji Xerox proprietary communication procedure that is only for
use with specific machines that have the Relay Broadcast feature.
DTMF Method
G3 fax machines that support Manual Send can perform Relay Broadcast for the
machine.
F Code Method
This method can be used among machines that support the F Code and the Relay
Broadcast features.
