Setting the number of rings
You can set how many times your fax machine will ring before answering
a call. You may choose one to nine rings.
1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.
2. Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 5, ENTER. The display will show:
Set # Of Rings

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.
Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
3. To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired
number of rings, from one to nine. Here, we've chosen four rings.

Note: If you enter 0 (zero), the machine will beep briefly to warn you
that it can't accept that setting.
4. Press ENTER to save the setting.
Setting ECM
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 (ECM). When two fax machines communicate while
running in ECM, the sending machine automatically checks the data,
"block" by "block," as it sends. If the receiving fax 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
machine answers either "Yes; go on" or "No; try it again.")
Note: While using ECM gives you a better chance of getting a fax
document through a 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 ECM on
or off as you require.
