Do you ever hear static on the line during a phone call? It's a real nuisance — but,
worse, it may ruin your attempts to communicate via fax. This is because "line noise"
can easily disrupt the flow of data from one fax machine to another.
That's why your fax machine gives you the chance of operating in Error Correction
Mode (
). When two fax machines communicate while running in
ECM
machine automatically checks the data, "block" by "block," as it sends. If the receiving
machine can't verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send as necessary.
(Essentially, the sending machine asks, "Did you 'hear' that segment?" and the other
one answers either "Yes; go on" or "No; try it again.")
Note: While using
gives you a better chance of getting a fax document through a
ECM
troublesome phone line, it also could slow down the transmission time — and
increasingly so in proportion to how bad the phone line is. That's why we let
you turn
on or off as you require.

Setting silent mode

If you and your fax share a quiet place, you'll really appreciate being able to put the
machine into silent mode. This mutes both the ringer and the "I'm done!" beep your
machine makes after sending or receiving a fax or making a copy.
Note: Let's say it again — silent mode mutes both the ringer and the beep. So, if
you're using your fax machine as both a fax and phone (with the optional
handset), you may not wish to use this feature.
Note: Of course, turning on the silent mode on your fax machine won't turn off ringers
on other telephones in your house or office. Similarly, other phones won't
distinguish between fax and voice calls.

itself!)
