Beyond the Basics

Setting the number of rings

You can set how many times your fax machine will ring before answering a call. Choose from 1 to 10 rings.

1 Press /PROGRAM, J, 0, 5, ENTER. The LCD shows:

Set # Of Rings

#(01-10):02

2 Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of rings you want, from 1 to 10. Here, we’ve chosen 4 rings.

Set # Of Rings

#(01-10):04

Note: If you enter 00 (zero), the machine will beep briefly to warn you that it can’t accept that setting.

3 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Setting ECM

“Line noise,” or static on the line during a call, can easily disrupt the flow of data from one fax machine to another.

That’s why your fax machine gives you the option of using Error Correction Mode (ECM). When two fax machines communicate while running in ECM, the sending machine automatically checks the data as it sends. If the receiving fax machine can’t verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send it as necessary.

Note: ECM gives you a better chance of transmitting a fax document over a bad phone line, but it could also slow down the transmission time. And the worse the line is, the slower the transmission. That’s why the machine lets you turn ECM on or off as needed.

Note: Not all fax machines have ECM. If you’ve activated ECM and then transmit to a fax machine not currently using ECM, there will be no change in the fax transmission from a usual, non-ECMtransmission.

1 Press /PROGRAM, J, 0, 7, ENTER. The LCD shows the current ECM setting:

ECM Mode :On

Program/Enter

2	Press or /PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
	In this example, we’ve chosen Off.
		ECM Mode	:Off
		Program/Enter
3
	Press ENTER to save the setting.

Setting silent mode

Silent mode allows you to mute the ringer, the alarm and the key tones.

• Ringer — If you turn the ringer off in silent mode, a ring alerts you when you receive fax or voice call and a call request.

• Alarm — If you disable the alarm in silent mode, the sound your machine makes when an error occurs and the beep your machine makes after sending or receiving a fax or making a copy cannot be heard.

• Key tone — If you mute the key tone, your machine will not make a sound when you press the buttons on the control panel.

1	Press		/PROGRAM, J, 1, 9, ENTER. The LCD shows your fax’s current setting:
		Silent Mode			:Off
				Program/Enter
2
	Press		or	/PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
	In this example, we’ve chosen On.
		Silent Mode			:On
				Program/Enter
	Note: If you chose On, the silent mode of Ringer, Alarm or Key tone can be
			set to be avilable. If you chose Off, the machine will ring and beep as
			usual.
	If you chose Off, skip to step 10.
3	Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD now asks if you want the ringer to be
	on or off:
		Ringer Silent			:Off
				Program/Enter
4
	Press		or	/PROGRAM until the mode you want appears.
	If you want to turn off the ringer, select “On” and the machine will be quiet.
	Otherwise, the machine will ring.
