use error correction mode

Error Correction Mode (ECM) eliminates data lost due to poor phone lines by
detecting errors that occur during transmission and automatically requesting
retransmission of the erroneous portion. Phone charges are unaffected, or may
even be reduced, on good phone lines. On poor phone lines, ECM increases
sending time and phone charges, but sends the data much more reliably. Turn
ECM off (the default setting is on) only if it increases phone charges substantially,
and you can accept poorer quality in exchange for reduced charges.
Follow these steps to change the error correction mode:

detect faxes received from older machines (silent detect)

This feature enables you to receive faxes from older fax machines that do not emit
a fax signal. These silent models represent less than 5% of fax machines in use.

• You are having trouble receiving a fax from an older machine.
• Your answering machine is connected directly to your HP Fax.
