ECM
Error Correction Mode. Reduces system and line errors when sending or receiving
from another fax machine with ECM capability. ECM divides a page into blocks and
inspects each block for data lost through poor transmission. If part of the data is
missing in a certain block, ECM retransmits that data from the beginning of the block
until it confirms that all of the data within the block has been transmitted successfully.
In this way, ECM guarantees that a good image can be received at the receiving end.
ECM is very effective where the telephone lines are in poor condition. However, ECM
slows the transmission speed, and you may turn this mode off, if it is not needed.
Error indicator
The Error indicator blinks a red light when a paper jam occurs or the machine has run
out of toner or paper. When the Error indicator maintains a steady red light, contact
your local authorized Canon dealer.
Ethernet
An industry standard LAN (Local Area Network) system for connecting multiple
computers. Data is sent from one computer to another by dividing it into packets, and
the packets reach their destinations smoothly without any collision with other packets.

formats: TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PDF (Compact), PDF (OCR), and PDF (Trace).
File server
A personal computer or workstation to which two or more users on client personal
computers can gain access via a LAN (Local Area Network), to share and use its hard
disk drive.
Fine
A resolution mode for sending originals at twice the detail of the Standard resolution
mode.
Forwarding
The process of sending a received fax/I-fax document to another destination. For
example, if your machine at work receives a document, you can have the machine
forward the document to a machine at your home. This machine can also forward
documents to a Confidential Fax Inbox.
