Canon 2010F Document density, Document output tray, Dual access, Fax Basic Features screen

Document

The single sheet or stack of papers containing the data you want to send through or receive from a fax machine.

Document density

The document density settings alter the lightness or darkness of the documents sent or received. See density control.

Document output tray

Holds documents ejected from the machine after they have been scanned into memory, copied, or sent by direct sending.

Dual access

Enables you to scan a document, even if the machine is copying, sending or receiving a document. You do not have to wait until the machine finishes the current send/receive transmission. While the machine sends a document from the memory, you can load other documents into the memory, copy documents, print out reports, or register information.

E

ECM

Stands for Error Correction Mode. Reduces system and line errors when sending or receiving from another fax machine with ECM capability. When there is noise on the telephone line, a distortion or blank area can occur in the document received by the other party. ECM divides one page into a number of blocks and checks for lost data block by block. When some data is lost in a certain block, ECM repeats transmission from the beginning of that block after confirming that all data within the block can be transmitted successfully. In this way, ECM guarantees that a good image can be received at the receiving end. ECM is very effective in countries where the telephone lines are in poor condition. There may be occasions when you want to turn ECM OFF. For instance, when you feel the transaction speed is extremely slow.

F

Fax Basic Features screen
