Description

This article provides information on sending the same document to several fax recipients using the PIXMA MX472 / MX479 / MX532.  This process is known as sequential broadcasting.

 

Solution

This machine allows you to prepare for sending the same document to a maximum of 21 recipients in one operation. The recipients can be specified with the Numeric buttons, coded memory dial, and group dial in combination.
 

The following number of recipients can be specified in combination.

  • The recipient registered to the machine:

    Up to 20 (total of coded memory dial and group dial)

  • Dialing using the Numeric buttons or redialing:

    1


Important

  • It may be possible that faxes will reach unintended recipients due to the misdialing or incorrect registration of fax/telephone numbers. When you send important documents, it is recommended that you send them one by one after speaking on the telephone.
