Send a fax in 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 you can accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.

If the ECM setting is OFF:

The quality and transmission speed of faxes you send and receive are affected.

The Fax Speed is automatically set to Medium.

You will no longer be able to send or receive color faxes.

To change the ECM setting from the device control panel

1.Press Setup.

2.Press 5, and then press 6.

This selects Advanced Fax Setup and then selects Error Correction Mode.

3.Press to select On or Off.

4.Press OK.

Receive a fax

You can receive faxes automatically or manually. If you turn off the Auto Answer option, you must receive faxes manually. If you turn on the Auto Answer option (the default setting), the device automatically answers incoming calls and receives faxes after the number of rings that are specified by the Rings to Answer setting. (The default Rings to Answer setting is five rings.)
