  • Page 22: About Fax Machines

    About fax machines Fax tones and handshake When someone is sending a fax, the MFC sends fax calling tones (CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. You will hear them after you dial and press continue for about 60 seconds after dialling. During that time, the sending machine must begin the “handshake”, or connection, with the receiving machine.

  • Page 23: Ecm (Error Correction Mode)

    ECM (Error Correction Mode) The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC to check a fax transmission while it is in progress. If the MFC detects errors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax that had an error.

  • Page 24: Connecting The Mfc

    Connecting the MFC Connecting an external telephone Although your MFC does not have a handset, you can connect a separate telephone (or telephone answering device) directly to your MFC as shown in the diagram below. (Example for the U.K.) Whenever this phone (or TAD) is in use, the LCD shows Telephone .

  • Page 25: Connecting An External Telephone Answering Device (Tad)

    Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD) Sequence You may choose to connect an answering device. However, when you have an external TAD on the same telephone line as the MFC, the TAD answers all calls and the MFC “listens” for fax calling (CNG) tones.

  • Page 26: Connections

    Do not connect a TAD elsewhere on the same phone line. (Example for the U.K.) Connections The external TAD must be connected as shown above. Set your external TAD to one or two rings. (The MFC’s Ring Delay setting does not apply.) Record the outgoing message on your external TAD.

  • Page 27: Recording Outgoing Message (Ogm) On An External Tad

    Recording outgoing message (OGM) on an external TAD Timing is important in recording this message. The message sets up the ways to handle both manual and automatic fax reception. Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. (This allows your MFC time to listen for the fax CNG tones of automatic transmissions before they stop.) Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.

  • Page 28: Using Extension Telephones (U.k. Only)

    Using extension telephones (U.K. only) It may be that your premises are already wired with parallel extension telephones, or you intend to add extension telephones to your line, in addition to your machine. While the simplest arrangement is straightforward parallel connection, there are some reasons as to why this arrangement will cause unsatisfactory service, the most obvious of which is inadvertent interruption of a facsimile transmission by someone picking up an extension telephone in order...
