Sent Report

You can set your machine to print a confirmation

 

report showing whether a transmission was

 

successful, how many pages were sent, and more.

 

The available options are On, Off, and On-Error,

 

which prints only when a transmission is not

 

successful.

You can prevent the actual faxed material from being

 

included in the confirmation report for privacy or

 

security protection.

 

 

Dial Mode

This setting may not be available depending on your

 

country. If you cannot reach this option, your machine

 

does not support this feature.

 

You can set the dial mode for your machine to either

 

tone dialing or pulse dialing. If you have a public

 

telephone system or a private branch exchange

 

(PBX) system, you may need to select Pulse.

 

Contact your local telephone company if you are not

 

sure which dial mode to use.

 

Note

 

If you select Pulse, some phone system features

 

might not be available. It can also take longer to dial

 

a fax or phone number.
