Use the Broadcasting feature to send the same fax to multiple fax numbers at the same time.
• The same broadcast can include Groups, Address Book numbers (One Touch Dial numbers and Speed Dial
numbers in some models) and up to 50 manually dialed numbers.
• Touchscreen LCD models
If you did not use any of the Address Book numbers for Groups, you can broadcast faxes to as many as 350
different numbers.
• Address Book numbers (One Touch Dial numbers and Speed Dial numbers in some models) must be stored
in the machine’s memory before they can be used in a broadcast.
• Group numbers must also be stored in the machine’s memory before they can be used in a broadcast. Group
numbers include many stored Address Book numbers (One Touch Dial numbers and Speed Dial numbers in
some models) for easier dialing.
