Sending faxes to multiple recipients
You can send a paper fax to several fax numbers at once. If you want
to send a fax to a group of fax numbers you have assigned to a
group-dial code, use “To send a fax using a group-dial code.” If you
want to send to up to 100 numbers that do not have a group-dial
code, use “To send a fax to an ad-hoc group.”
In the rare instance that your document does not fit into memory, you
will need to send the document to each fax number one at a time, or
use the Document Assistant.
