Broadcasting
Broadcasting is when the same fax message is automatically sent to 
more than one fax number. Using the 
Set
key, you can include
Groups, One-Touch, Speed-Dial numbers and up to 50 manually 
dialed numbers. If you did not use up any of the numbers for Groups, 
access codes or credit card numbers, you can ābroadcastā faxes to 
as many as 290 different numbers (MFC-8640D) or 390 different 
numbers (MFC-8440/8840D/8840DN). However, the available 
memory will vary depending on the types of jobs in the memory and 
the number of locations used for broadcasting. If you broadcast to 
the maximum numbers available, you will not be able to use Dual 
Access and Delayed fax.
To include One-Touch or Speed-Dial numbers and manually dialed 
numbers in the same broadcast, you must press 
Set
between each
of the numbers. Use
Search/Speed Dial
to help you choose the
numbers easily.
Setting up Groups for Broadcasting
After the broadcast is finished, a Broadcast Report will be printed to 
let you know the results.
ā
Enter the long dialing sequence numbers as you would normally, 
but remember that each One-Touch and Speed-Dial number 
counts as one number, so the number of locations you can store 
becomes limited.
ā
If the memory is full, press
Stop/Exit
to stop the job or if more
than one page has been scanned, press
Start
to send the
portion that is in the memory.
