Set the dial type

Use this procedure to set tone-dialing or pulse-dialing mode. The factory-set default is Tone. Do not change the setting unless you know that your phone line cannot use tone dialing.

NOTE: The pulse-dialing option is not available in all countries/regions.

To set the dial type

Control panel: Press Setup, press Basic Fax Setup, and then use the Tone or Pulse Dialing option.

Set the redial options

If the device was unable to send a fax because the receiving fax machine did not answer or was busy, the device attempts to redial based on the settings for the busy-redial and no-answer-redial options. Use the following procedure to turn the options on or off.

Busy redial: If this option is turned on, the device redials automatically if it receives a busy signal. The factory-set default for this option is ON.

No answer redial: If this option is turned on, the device redials automatically if the receiving fax machine does not answer. The factory-set default for this option is OFF.

To set the redial options

Control panel: Press Setup, press Advance Fax Setup, and then use the Busy Redial or No Answer Redial options.

Set the fax speed

You can set the fax speed used to communicate between your device and other fax machines when sending and receiving faxes. The default fax speed is Fast.

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, you might want to try setting the Fax Speed setting to Medium or Slow. The following table provides the available fax speed settings.
