Getting everything just the way you want it
The “EasyStart” feature (see page 1.14) guided you through the “just-gotta”
settings on your machine. In the next few pages, we’ll cover other settings.
Setting the Primary Resolution Mode
Your fax offers four standard transmission modes ---- three resolution options, plus
grayscale ---- so every document arrives looking its best.
Note:
This setting has no effect on the faxes you receive. The sending fax
machine controls the resolution of the received fax document.
With this setting, you tell your fax which transmission mode ---- normal, fine,
superfine (shown on the display as “Sfine”) or grayscale (“Gray”) ---- you use most
often.
You always can change the resolution before sending, but this will be your
default.
To set the primary transmission mode:
1. Press
program
,
7
,
mode/enter
,
0
,
4
.
Set Fax Resol.
2. Press
mode/enter
.
Fax Resol. Norm
3. Press
program
until your chosen mode appears. (In this example, we’ve
chosen superfine.)

4. Press
mode/enter
to select your choice.
Of course, you always can change the resolution before sending.
To adjust the resolution and contrast:
• Press
mode/enter
to change the resolution.
• Press
contrast/cancel
to change the contrast.
The transmission mode appears as the second item from the left.

Setting the Number of Rings
You can set how many times your fax machine will ring before it responds to a
call. You can choose between one and nine rings.
1. Press
program
,
7
,
mode/enter
,
0
,
6
.
Set # of Rings
2. Press
mode/enter
.
# of Rings = 2
3. If you’re satisfied with the current setting, skip to step 4. Otherwise, use the
numeric keypad to enter the desired number of rings.
# of Rings = 4
4. Press
mode/enter
.
Note:
If you’re using an answering machine with your fax machine and have
correctly set your fax machine for that use (see page 1.13, 1.20), this
setting won’t matter; the answering machine will answer first.
Note:
If you have an M880 and it is in answering machine mode, the toll saver
function (see page 4.14) will determine how many times it will ring, based
on whether there is at least one message or memo stored on the fax’s
answering machine.
Set Silent Mode
If you and your fax machine share a quiet place, you’ll really appreciate being
able to put the machine into silent mode. This mutes both the ringer and the “I’m
done!” beep your machine makes after sending or receiving a fax or making a
copy.
Note:
Let’s say it again --- silent mode mutes the ringer as well as the beep. So, if
you’re using your fax machine as both a fax and phone, you may not wish
to use this feature.
Note:
Of course, turning on the silent mode on your fax machine won’t turn off
ringers on other telephones in your house or office. Similarly, other phones
won’t distinguish between fax and voice calls.
