Setting ECM
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 send-
ing 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 seg-
ment?” and the other machine answers either “Yeah; 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.
Note: Not all fax machines have
ECM
. If you’ve activated
ECM
and then transmit to
a fax machine not currently using
ECM
, there will no change in the fax
transmission from a usual, non-
ECM
transmission.
