Setting ECM
“Line noise,” or static on the line during a call, can easily disrupt the flow of data
from one fax machine to another.
That’s why your fax machine gives you the option of using Error Correction Mode
(
ECM
). When two fax machines communicate while running in
ECM
, the sending
machine automatically checks the data as it sends. If the receiving fax machine can’t
verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send it as necessary.
Note:
ECM
gives you a better chance of transmitting a fax document over a bad
phone line, but it could also slow down the transmission time. And the worse
the line is, the slower the transmission. That’s why the machine lets you
turn
ECM
on or off as needed.
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 be no change in the fax
transmission from a usual, non-
ECM
transmission.

Setting silent mode
Silent mode allows you to mute the ringer, the alarm and the key tones.
• Ringer — If you turn the ringer off in silent mode, a ring alerts you when you
receive fax or voice call and a call request.
• Alarm — If you disable the alarm in silent mode, the sound your machine
makes when an error occurs and the beep your machine makes after sending or
receiving a fax or making a copy cannot be heard.
• Key tone — If you mute the key tone, your machine will not make a sound when
you press the buttons on the control panel.
