Send the Same Fax to More than One Recipient (Broadcasting)
Use the Broadcasting feature to send the same fax to multiple fax numbers at the same time.
• This feature is available only for black and white faxes.
• Address Book numbers 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 for easier dialing.
You can include Groups, Address Book numbers and up to 50 manually-dialed numbers in the same

If you did not use any of the Address Book numbers for Groups, you can broadcast faxes to as many as 90
different numbers.
