Dial Tone detection B
When you send a fax automatically, by
default your machine will wait for a fixed
amount of time before it starts to dial the
number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to
Detection you can make your machine dial
as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting
can save a small amount of time when
sending a fax to many different numbers. If
you change the setting and start having
problems with dialling you should change
back to the default No Detection setting.
a Press Menu, 0, 5.
b Press a or b to choose Detection or
No Detection.
Press OK.
c Press Stop/Exit.
Telephone line interference B
If you are having problems sending or
receiving a fax due to possible interference on
the telephone line, we recommend that you
adjust the Equalization for compatibility to
reduce the modem speed for fax operations.
a Press Menu, 2, 0, 2.
b Press a or b to choose Normal (or
Basic(for VoIP)).
Basic(for VoIP) cuts the
modem speed to 9600 bps. Unless
interference is a recurring problem
on your telephone line, you may
prefer to use it only when needed.
Normal sets the modem speed at
14400 bps. (Default)
Press OK.
c Press Stop/Exit.
Note
When you change the compatibility to
Basic(for VoIP), the ECM feature is
only available for colour fax sending.
