/ Faxing / Menu Options for Fax Settings / Basic Settings

Basic Settings

Select the menus on the control panel as described below.

Settings > General Settings > Fax Settings > Basic Settings

Fax Speed:

Select the fax transmission speed. We recommend selecting Slow(9,600bps) when a communication error occurs frequently, when sending/receiving a fax to/from abroad, or when you are using an IP (VoIP) phone service.

ECM:

Automatically corrects errors in the fax transmission (Error Correction Mode), mostly caused by telephone line noise. If this is disabled, you cannot send or receive documents in color.

Dial Tone Detection:

Detects a dial tone before starting to dial. If the printer is connected to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or digital phone line, the printer may fail to start dialing. In this situation, change the Line Type setting to PBX. If this does not work, disable this feature. However, disabling this feature may drop the first digit of a fax number and send the fax to the wrong number.

Line Type:

Select the line type to which you have connected the printer. When using the printer in an environment that uses extensions and requires an external access code, such as 0 and 9, to get an outside line, select PBX and register the access code. Once you have registered the access code, enter # (hash) instead of the access code when sending a fax to an outside fax number. For an environment that uses a DSL modem or terminal adapter, setting to PBX is also recommended.

Header:

Enter your sender name and fax number. These appear as a header on outgoing faxes. You can enter up to 40 characters for your name, and up to 20 digits for your fax number.

Receive Mode:

Select the receive mode.

DRD:

If you have subscribed to a distinctive ring service from your telephone company, select the ring pattern to be used for incoming faxes. The distinctive ring service, offered by many telephone companies (the service name differs by company), allows you to have several phone numbers on one phone line. Each number is assigned different ring pattern. You can use one number for voice calls and another for fax calls. Depending on the region, this option may be On or Off.

Rings to Answer:

Select the number of rings that must occur before the printer automatically receives a fax.

Remote Receive:

When you answer an incoming fax call on a phone connected to the printer, you can start receiving the fax by entering the code using the phone.

Rejection Fax:

Select options to reject junk faxes.
