Set the fax error correction mode

Typically, the device monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or receiving a fax. If it detects an error signal during the transmission and the error- correction setting is on, the device can request that a portion of the fax be resent.

Turn off error correction only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and you want to accept the errors in the transmission. Turning off the setting might be useful when you are trying to send a fax to another country/region, when you receive a fax from another country/region, or if you are using a satellite phone connection.

Device control panel: Press FAX, select Advance Fax Setup menu, and then select Error correction mode.

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.
