Description
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.
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.
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.
Select the type of phone system to which you have connected the printer. When set to Pulse,
you can temporarily switch the dialing mode from pulse to tone by pressing ("T" is entered)
while entering numbers on the fax top screen. This setting may not be displayed depending on
your region or country.
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.
You cannot send faxes to recipients in Contacts in which an external access code such as 0 or 9
is set. If you have added recipients in Contacts using an external access code such as 0 or 9, set
the Access Code to Do Not Use. Otherwise, you must change the code to # in Contacts.
