2.5.1Phase mismatch

When the FAX-30 starts receiving a broadcast already in progress, or noise prevents detection of the phasing signal, the image may be divided into two parts by a thick black (or white) stripe called a dead sector. This phenomenon is due to phase mismatching. When this occurs, correct phase mismatching, after the facsimile has been received.
