Description

Dialing Mode

Tone (default) / Pulse

Determines how the printer dials a fax

 

 

number.

 

 

Tone dialing (the more common

 

 

method) uses tones to dial a phone

 

 

number. It is faster and more reliable

 

 

than pulse dialing, which uses a series of

 

 

pulses to dial a phone number.

 

 

Traditionally, pulse dialing was used by

 

 

rotary phones; tone dialing is used by

 

 

touch-tone phones.

 

 

 

Error Correction

On (default) / Off

Error correction is applied only when

 

 

sending black-and-white faxes. It

 

 

reduces the loss of data, which can occur

 

 

on poor phone lines.

 

 

Error correction increases the send time

 

 

on poor phone lines, but the

 

 

transmission is much more reliable.

 

 

(Error correction does not apply to faxes

 

 

being received.)

 

 

 

Setting the answer mode (auto answer or manual)

The default setting is for Auto Answer to be on. When Auto Answer is on, the printer picks up all incoming faxes automatically. The green Auto Answer LED is lit when Auto Answer is on.

To answer calls manually, turn off Auto Answer by pressing the Auto Answer button so that the green LED is off. (See Receiving a fax manually, page 64.)
