Ricoh 2400L manual ECM Error Correction Mode and Page Retransmission

TRANSMISSION ADVANCED FEATURES

ECM (Error Correction Mode) and Page Retransmission

ECM is a signaling system that greatly reduces the chance of data being lost because of a bad telephone line. ECM is useful if you frequently communicate over poor telephone lines.

With ECM switched on, the communication cost will increase if the line is bad, but the data will be sent much more reliably.

If ECM is switched off, Page Retransmission will be used. The whole page will be resent (unless you used Immediate Transmission, in which case damaged data cannot be resent at all). ECM is more efficient, because it only resends the damaged parts of the data, and the maximum possible number of retransmission attempts is much higher, and it also works with Immediate Transmission.

If you prefer reliable communication over communication costs, keep ECM switched on. If you however prefer to be cost effective, ask the service technician to switch ECM off.

Pages can be sent up to 3 times before the machine gives up. If you wish to change the number of retries, contact a service technician.

ECM is switched on in your machine when it leaves the factory, to provide you with the ability to send accurate and complete documents as reliably as possible.
