Setting Up Groups
for Broadcasting
Groups allow you to send the same fax message to many fax numbers by pressing
only one One Touch key (Broadcasting).  First, you’ll 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 a One Touch key.  Finally, you can have up to 6
small Groups, or you can assign many numbers to one large group. If you have
Model MFC 1870MC you can assign up to 59 numbers to one large group, and for
Models FAX 1570MC and MFC 1970MC up to 123 numbers to one large group.

User-Friendly Programming
We have designed your FAX/MFC with on-screen programming and a Help key.
User-friendly programming helps you take full advantage of all the functions
your FAX/MFC has to offer.
Since your fax programming is done on the LCD, we created step-by-step on-
screen prompts to help you program your FAX/MFC.  All you need to do is follow
the prompts as they guide you through the function menu selections and
programming options and settings.
Function Mode
You can access the function mode by pressing Function. When you enter the
function mode, your FAX/MFC displays a list of Level One Functions from which
you can choose.  These function options appear one after the other on the display.
Select an option by pressing 
Set when the option appears on the LCD.
You can “scroll” more quickly through options by pressing 
. When the screen
displays your selection, press 
Set. (Use  to scroll backward if you passed your
choice or to save key strokes. Both arrow keys show all options, in the opposite
order.)
If you want to exit the Function Mode, press Stop.

send a fax, or you can make a copy.

Sending Faxes
Before you begin:

Documents must be between 5.8 and 8.5 inches wide, and 5.9 and 23.7
inches long. Your FAX/MFC can only scan an image 8.2 inches wide,
regardless of how wide the paper is.

Make sure you insert documents face down, top edge first.

Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your document.
Paper guides

The automatic document feeder (ADF) can hold up to 20 pages, feeding each
one individually through the FAX/MFC. Use standard (20 lb.) paper when
using the ADF; if you’re using heavier paper, feed each sheet individually to
prevent paper jams.
