Relay Faxing
!
Relay Faxing is different from group faxing. In Group
Faxing, a fax is sent to a preprogrammed group of
locations directly from the fax machine.
At this writing, the OKIFAX 2600 is the only Oki fax
machine that can function as a relay key station.
What is Relay Faxing?
Relay faxing allows one fax machine to send a document to
another fax machine, which then re-sends the document to a
number of other locations. Two different fax machines are
involved in transmitting a relay fax: the relay initiating
station and the relay key station (hub).
What is an example of Relay Faxing? Imagine that you need
to send a fax to a number of locations in another area code.
With Relay Faxing, you (the relay initiating station) send
one fax (transmission) long distance to one fax (the relay key
station). The relay key station then sends the fax to all of the
other faxes/locations in the area code, at local rates.
