Set the fax speed

You can set the fax speed used to communicate between your printer and other fax machines when sending and receiving faxes.

If you use one of the following, setting the fax speed to a slower speed might be required:

•An Internet phone service

•A PBX system

•Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP)

•An integrated services digital network (ISDN) service

If you experience problems sending and receiving faxes, try using a lower fax speed. The following table provides the available fax speed settings.

Set the fax sound volume

Use this procedure to increase or decrease the volume of the fax sounds. For example, you might want to increase the sound to hear a dial tone when you send a fax using monitor dialing.

1.From the Home screen, press the (Setup) button.

3.Scroll to and select Soft, Loud, or Off, and the press the button to the right of OK.

Set the Error Correction Mode

Error Correction Mode (ECM) prevents loss of data due to poor phone lines by detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting retransmission of the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or might even be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases sending time and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. The default setting is On. Turn ECM off only if it increases phone charges substantially, and if you can accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.
