Change the fax speed

The fax-speed setting is the modem protocol that the product uses to send faxes. It is the worldwide standard for full-duplex modems that send and receive data across telephone lines at up to 33,600 bits per second (bps). The factory-set default for the fax-speed setting is Fast(V.34).

You should change the setting only if you are having trouble sending a fax to or receiving a fax from a particular device. Decreasing the fax speed might be useful when you are trying to send a fax overseas, or receive one from overseas, or if you are using a satellite telephone connection.

2.Use the arrow buttons to select the Fax setup menu, and then press the OK button.

4.Use the arrow buttons to select the Fax Speed menu, and then press the OK button.

5.Use the arrow buttons to select a speed setting, and then press the OK button.
