Setting up Groups for 
broadcasting 8
If you often want to send the same fax 
message to many fax numbers you can set 
up a group.

Speed-Dial number. Each group uses up a 
One-Touch key or a Speed-Dial location. You 
can then send the fax message to all the 
numbers stored in a group just by pressing a 
One-Touch key or entering a Speed-Dial 
number, and then pressing Start.
Before you can add numbers to a group, you 
need to store them as One-Touch or Speed-
Dial numbers. You can have up to 20 small 
groups, or you can assign up to 339 numbers 
to one large group.
