Setting Up Groups for Broadcasting
Groups allow you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by
pressing only one One Touch Group key (and 
Start). First, youÕll need to
store each fax number as a One Touch or Speed Dial number. Then, you can
combine them into a Group.  Each Group uses up a One Touch key. Finally,
you can have up to six small Groups, or you can assign up to 131 numbers to
one large Group.
You can include up to 31 One Touch keys, and up to 100 Speed Dial
numbers. If you broadcast to more than the maximum locations available,
you will be unable to set up transmissions using Dual Access and the Timer.

codes or long-distance carriers as One Touch and Speed Dial numbers. You
can store these long dialing sequences by dividing them and setting them up
separately in any combination.  You can even include manual dialing using
the dial pad.  The combined number will be dialed in the order you entered
it, as soon as you press 
Start.  (See Storing One Touch Dial Numbers, page

If you press One Touch 
03, 02 and Start you can dial Ò555-7000Ó.  To
