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.

Fax over the Internet

You may subscribe to a low cost phone service that allows you to send and receive faxes with your device by using the Internet. This method is called Fax over Internet Protocol (FoIP). You probably use a FoIP service (provided by your telephone company) if you:

•Dial a special access code along with the fax number, or

•Have an IP converter box that connects to the Internet and provides analog phone ports for the fax connection.

NOTE: You can only send and receive faxes by connecting a phone cord to the port labeled "1-LINE" on the device and not from the Ethernet port. This means that your connection to the Internet must be done either through a converter box (which supplies regular analog phone jacks for fax connections) or your telephone company.
