Notes on sending faxes directly from the PC

You may encounter problems if your PC program uses Class 1 fax mode. Class 1 does not support any delays in signal runt- imes which are necessary for switching to radio mode.

Class 2 mode, on the other hand, is not as sensitive as Class 1. However, interference can still occur due to a bad radio link. If you have problems with this setting, start the configuration pro- gram and check the transmission quality under Connection. This can be changed by moving the Gigaset M101 Data unit slightly.
