selected resolution. An 8-1/2" x 11" page is broken down into about 1,728,000
dots if standard resolution is used. (Digital compression techniques for G3 convert
these into about 200,000 bits.)
ECM (Error Correction Mode):
This is signaling method that is designed to eliminate transmission errors on even
the noisiest of telephone lines. See page 118.
EFC:
This is a proprietary digital data compression technique. It shortens the time for
sending a page.

referred to as "Default Setting".
