Beyond the basics

To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the desired number of
rings, from one to nine. Here, we’ve chosen four rings.
Set # Of Rings
# (1-9): 4
Note: If you enter
0
(zero), the machine will beep briefly to warn you that it
can’t accept that setting.

Setting
ECM
Do you 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 sending
machine automatically
checks
the data, “block” by “block,” as it sends. If the receiving
machine can’t verify the transmission, the first machine will re-send as necessary.
(Essentially, the sending machine asks, “Did you ‘hear’ that segment?” and the other
one answers either “Yes; 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.

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.
Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

Setting silent mode
If you and your fax 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
both
the ringer
and
the beep. So, if
you’re using your fax machine as both a fax and phone (with the optional
handset), 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.

On.
Silent Mode: On
Program/Enter
Note: Don’t be confused. If silent mode is On, the machine will be quiet. If
silent mode is Off, the machine will ring and beep as usual. (In other
words, the On/Off refers to the silent mode setting,
not
to the sound
itself!)
