5. Service Maintenance Setting ID Codes to Machines This machine is assigned unique ID codes (character strings) at the factory. If you replace the main PCB of the machine, the machine will lose its assigned ID code so that it will not be identified by the connected PC*.
Customizing Codes Customizing Codes According to Shipping Destination This appendix provides instructions on how to set up the customizing codes for the various preferences exclusively designed for each destination (e.g. language). Those codes are stored in the memory (EEPROM) mounted on the main PCB. If the main PCB is replaced, therefore, you need to set the proper customizing code with the machine in the maintenance mode.
5. Service Maintenance Firmware Switches (WSW) WSW Switch List This appendix describes the functions of the firmware switches, which can be divided into two groups: one (selector number in plain) is for customizing preferences designed for the shipping destination (as described in p.159 "Customizing Codes") and the other (selector number in bold) is for modifying preferences that match the machine to the environmental conditions.

Firmware Switches (WSW) CNG detection when sharing a modular 0: A 1: B wall socket with a telephone Not used. Not used. * PABX: Private automatic branch exchange • Selectors 1 and 5: CNG detection when sharing a modular wall socket with a telephone These selectors determine whether or not the machine detects a CNG signal when a line is connected to a telephone sharing a modular wall socket with the machine.
5. Service Maintenance • Selectors 7 and 8: Break time length for flash function These selectors set the break time length. This setting is effective only when the flash function is selected for the "Search/Speed Dial" key by using the function switch. WSW05 (1st dial tone and busy tone detection) Selector No.
Firmware Switches (WSW) Setting all of these selectors to "1" activates the dial tone detection function so that the machine starts dialing upon detection of a dial tone when a line is connected. (However, in those countries which support no dial tone detection function, e.g., in the U.S.A., setting these selectors to "1" makes the machine start dialing after a WAIT of 3.5 seconds.) For the detecting conditions of the 1st dial tone, refer to WSW07 and WSW08.

5. Service Maintenance • Selectors 4 and 5: Time-out length for 1st and 2nd dial tone detection These selectors set the time-out length for the 1st and 2nd dial tone detection so that the machine waits dial tone input for the specified time length and disconnects itself from the line when no dial tone is inputted.
Firmware Switches (WSW) • Selector 2: Use of non-standard commands If this selector is set to "0," the machine can use non-standard commands (the machine's native-mode commands, e.g., NSF, NSC, and NSS) for communications. If it is set to "1," the machine will use standard commands only.

5. Service Maintenance DIS signals are not susceptible to data distortion due to echoes. Note that some models when called may cause error by receiving a self-outputted DIS. The setting made by selector 3 takes effect only when the Overseas Communications Mode is set to ON.
Firmware Switches (WSW) • Selector 3 is applicable to the American models only. • Selector 3: Call Waiting Caller ID Setting this selector to "0" allows the user to decide whether or not to interrupt the current call when a new call comes in. If Call Waiting Caller ID service is available in the area and the user subscribes to it, he/she can see information about his/her incoming call on the LCD.
5. Service Maintenance If this selector is set to "0," the called station starts counting zeros 100 ms after the head of a series of zeros is detected. If it is set to "1," the called station starts counting zeros upon detection of 10-ms successive zeros 50 ms after the head of a series of zeros is detected.
Firmware Switches (WSW) In models with OGM facilities, the settings made by these selectors also apply to the length of time from CML-ON up to the start of OGM transmission. WSW25 (TAD setting 3) Selector No. Function Setting and Specifications 1 to 4 Not used.

2. Appendix: Troubleshooting Guide Error Indication To help the user or the service personnel promptly locate the cause of a problem (if any), the facsimile equipment incorporates the self-diagnostic functions which display error messages for equipment errors and communications errors. For the communications errors, the equipment also prints out the transmission verification report and the communications list.
