Sending options
Option Description
Redial Times You can specify the number of redial attempts. If
you enter 0, the machine will not redial.
Redial Term Your machine can automatically redial a remote
fax machine if it was busy. You can set an interval
between attempts.
Prefix Dial You can set a prefix of up to five digits. This
number dials before any automatic dial number is
started. It is useful for accessing a PABXa
exchange.
Receiving options
ECM Modeb This mode helps with poor line quality and makes
sure any faxes you send are sent smoothly to any
other ECM-equipped fax machine. Sending a fax
using ECM may take more time.
Send 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.
Image TCRcYou 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.
