In a relay broadcast, the originator fax machine sends a document over a long 
distance to another fax machine called the “relay unit.” After the relay unit receives 
your document, it automatically sends the document to several other fax machines 
in the local area. In this way, you can send a document to several fax machines in 
the same locality with only one long distance transmission.

In a relay network, your machine can function as both an originator and a relay unit. 
If your machine is the “originator,” it sends a document to a relay unit from which the 
document is relayed to several destinations in the same locality. If your machine is 
the “relay unit,” it receives a document from another party, and your machine relays 
it to one or several other facsimile machines in your own locality.
