E
ECM
Error Correction Mode. The ability of your fax
to reduce system and line errors when sending
or receiving from another fax with ECM
capability. ECM is most effective in areas
where the telephone lines are in poor condition
or there is frequent interference on the line. Do
not use ECM if you need to send a document
quickly and you are sure the other party can
read your transmission without it (turning off
ECM also turns off MMR).
Extension
A telephone connected to the fax.
`
F
Fax Only Mode
This option allows you to use your fax only to
receive faxes automatically. If you have a
dedicated fax line, you may want to set this
mode.
Fax/Tel Mode
This option allows you to set the fax to
automatically detect whether a call is from a
fax or telephone. If the call is from another
fax, the transmission is automatically received.
If the call is from a telephone, the fax rings to
let you know, so you can pick up the handset.
With this feature, one telephone line can be
shared by both the telephone and the fax.
FINE
The setting for documents with very small
characters and lines.

Encoding schemes for G3 fax machines are
Modified Huffman (MH), Modified Read
(MR), and Modified Modified Read (MMR).
