ECREASE THE TRANSMISSION SPEED OF THE FAX MODEM
The modem of the printer can transmit data at 33,600 bps. This is the maximum speed at which the printer can send
and receive faxes. It is not necessary, however, to set the modem to its fastest transmission capability. The speed of
the modem of the receiving fax machine must match or be greater than the speed at which you are sending your
fax. Otherwise, your fax will not be received.

ET THE PRINTER TO SCAN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT BEFORE DIALING THE NUMBER
The printer does not automatically redial if you set it to scan the original document after dialing the number.
Set the printer to scan before dialing so that you do not have to scan the document again if the fax fails. The scanned
document is saved in the printer memory. The printer can then retrieve it and automatically redial the number.
