Default The fax is programmed in the factory with settings that we recommend. These are known as factory default settings. You can customize your fax by programming settings other than the factory default settings. For details, see Chapter 16 of this Facsimile User’s Guide. Delayed transmission With delayed transmission (also called timer sending), you can set a time for the document to be sent.
Page 451

Document density The document density settings alter the lightness or darkness of the documents sent or received. See density control. Document guides Guide the document into the fax for scanning, copying, or sending. Document memory list The memory list shows what documents are currently stored in the fax memory.
Page 452

Stands for error correction mode. Reduces system and line errors when sending or receiving from another fax with ECM capability. When there is noise on the telephone line, a distortion or blank area can occur in the document received by the other party. ECM divides one page into a number of blocks and checks for lost data block by block.
Page 453

The destination and length of the pause differ depending on the system. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer or your local telephone company for further information if you experience problems with long distance dialing.
Page 454

Manual receiving Use this setting if you have installed the optional handset kit and there is only one line connected to your office which you use for both phone and fax communication, and you want to monitor all incoming calls yourself. When you hear the ringer, pick up the handset and answer the phone.
Page 455

Memory list See document memory list. Memory lock Usually a document is printed as soon as it is received, but the memory lock feature forces all documents to be received in memory until you enter a password to print them. This feature prevents printed documents from piling up on the paper output tray when the office is unattended.

Numeric buttons The numeric buttons are the round buttons on the operation panel marked the same as a standard telephone keypad. Press to perform regular dialing. The numeric buttons are also used to enter numbers and letters when registering numbers and names. One-touch Speed Dialing Each One-touch Speed Dialing button holds a facsimile telephone number.
Page 457

PIN code PIN means Personal Identification Number. Some Private Branch Exchange (PBX) systems require that a PIN code be entered when dialing a number to make a call or send a document by fax machine. PIN codes prevent unau- thorized personnel from making calls. To protect privileged access to the telephone lines, only authorized users are entrusted with the PIN codes for daily operations.
Page 458

Regular dialing Dialing a number with the numeric buttons. Use regular dialing to dial a number that is not registered for any of the automatic dialing methods. Press then use the numeric buttons to dial the number you want to Hook call.
Page 459

• Error TX Report If the fax fails to send a document because the other party does not answer, even after automatic redialing, or if an error oc- curs, then your fax will immediately print an error transmission report. The report includes the facsimile number of the other party so you can try sending again and can print part of the first page of the document so you can identify it.
Page 460

RX password The ITU-T password set on your fax to match the ITU-T password of all incoming documents. If your RX password matches the ITU-T password of the incoming transmission, the document is received. If the passwords do not match, the document is not received. The maximum length of the password is 20 digits and may consist of numbers, spaces, asterisk ( and pound mark (#).
Page 461

However, you can change the pause time to suit your PBX or telephone system. Before adjusting the pause time, check with your local authorized Canon dealer or your local telephone company about the correct pause time to use for your telephone system.
Page 462

Touch-tone A touch-tone or tone dial telephone is dialed by pressing buttons that sends tones of varying pitch to the telephone switching system. Transaction number When a document is scanned into or received in the memory, it is assigned a transaction number (TX/RX). You can select documents in the memory for sending, printing, or deleting by specifying the transaction number.
Page 463

TX password The ITU-T password set on your fax that accompanies the document you send and must match the RX password on the fax where it is received. If your TX password matches the RX password of the other party’s fax, the document is received.
