When your unit communicates with the computer, “CLASS 1 MODE” appears on the LCD.

No other fax activities can be performed while the MFD communicates with the PC.

During a fax operation initiated by your unit, a fax request initiated by the PC is not processed.

The maximum fax transmission speed is 14,400 bps in Class 1 mode.
