Setting the number of rings

You can set how many times your fax machine will ring before answering a call. You may choose one to nine rings.

1 Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 6, ENTER. The LCD will show:

Beyond the basics

Setting ECM

Ever hear static on the line during a phone call? It’s a real nuisance — but, worse, it may ruin your attempts to communicate via fax. This is because “line noise” can easily disrupt the flow of data from one fax machine to another.

That’s why your fax machine gives you the chance of operating in Error Correction Mode (ECM). When two fax machines communicate while running in ECM, the send- ing machine automatically checks the data, “block” by “block,” as it sends. If the receiving fax machine can’t verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send as necessary. (Essentially, the sending machine asks, “Did you ‘hear’ that seg- ment?” and the other machine answers either “Yeah; go on” or “No; try it again.”)

Note: While using ECM gives you a better chance of getting a fax document through a troublesome phone line, it also could slow down the transmission time — and increasingly so in proportion to how bad the phone line is. That’s why we let you turn ECM on or off as you require.

Note: Not all fax machines have ECM. If you’ve activated ECM and then transmit to a fax machine not currently using ECM, there will no change in the fax transmission from a usual, non-ECMtransmission.

1 Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 8, ENTER. The LCD shows the current ECM setting:

ECM Mode: On
