set the paper size for received faxes

You can select the paper size for received faxes. The paper size selected should match what is loaded in your paper tray. Faxes can be printed on letter, A4, or legal paper only (varies by country/region).

Note: If an incorrect paper size is loaded in the paper tray when a fax is received, the fax will not print and an error message appears on the display. Load letter, A4, or legal paper, and then press OK to print the fax.

set tone or pulse dialing

You can set the dial mode for tone or pulse dialing. Most phone systems work with either type of dialing. If you have a public phone system or a private branch exchange (PBX) system that requires pulse dialing, you may need to select Pulse Dialing. The default setting is Tone Dialing. Some phone system features might not be accessible if pulse dialing is used. In addition, it can take longer to dial a fax number with pulse dialing. Contact your local phone company if you are unsure which setting to use.

Note: If your phone system does not require pulse dialing, we recommend using the default setting of Tone Dialing.
