Sending

Option

Description

Redial Times

You can specify the number of redial attempts. If you enter 0, the machine will not redial.

Redial Term

Your machine can automatically redial a remote fax machine if it was busy. You can set an interval between attempts.

Prefix Dial

You can set a prefix of up to five digits. This number dials before any automatic dial number is started. It is useful for accessing a PABX exchange.

ECM Mode

This mode helps with poor line quality and makes sure any faxes you send are sent smoothly to any other ECM-equipped fax machine. Sending a fax using ECM may take more time.

Send Report

You can set your machine to print a confirmation report showing whether a transmission was successful, how many pages were sent, and more. The available options are On, Off, and On-Error, which prints only when a transmission is not successful.

Image TCR

This function allows users to know what fax messages have been sent by showing sent messages in the transmission report.

The first page of the message is turned into an image file than is printed on the transmission report so the users can see what messages have been sent.

However, you can not use this function when sending fax without saving the data in the memory.

Dial Mode

This setting may not be available depending on your country. If you cannot reach this option, your machine does not support this feature.

You can set the dial mode for your machine to either tone dialling or pulse dialling. If you have a public telephone system or a private branch exchange (PBX) system, you may need to select Pulse. Contact your local telephone company if you are not sure which dial mode to use.

If you select Pulse, some phone system features might not be available. It can also take longer to dial a fax or phone number.

Receiving

Option

Description

Receive Mode

You can select the default fax receiving mode. For details on receiving faxes in each mode, see Changing the receive modes.

Ring To Answer

You can specify the number of times the machine rings before answering an incoming call.

Stamp RCV Name

This option allows the machine to automatically print the page number, and the date and time of reception at the bottom of each page of a received fax.

RCV Start Code

This code allows you to initiate fax reception from an extension phone plugged into the EXT socket on the back of the machine. If you pick up the extension phone and hear fax tones, enter the code. It is preset to *9* at the factory.

Auto Reduction

When receiving a fax containing pages as long as or longer than the paper loaded in the paper tray, the machine can reduce the size of the original to fit the size of the paper loaded in the machine.

Turn on this feature if you want to automatically reduce an incoming page.

With this feature set to Off, the machine cannot reduce the original to fit onto one page. The original will be divided and printed in actual size on two or more pages.

Discard Size

When receiving a fax containing pages as long as or longer than the paper in your machine, you can set the machine to discard a specific length from the end of the received fax. The machine will print the received fax on one or more sheets of paper, minus the data that would have been on the specified discard segment.

When the received fax contains pages larger than the paper in your machine, and Auto Reduction has been turned on, the machine will reduce the fax to fit on the existing paper, and nothing will be discarded.

Junk Fax Setup

This setting may not be available depending on your country. Using this feature, the system will not accept faxes sent from remote stations whose numbers are stored in the memory as junk fax numbers. This feature is useful for blocking any unwanted faxes.

When you turn on this feature, you can access the following options to set junk fax numbers.

  • Add: Allows you to set up to 10 fax numbers.

  • Delete: Allows you to delete the desired junk fax number. If you select Delete All, Allows you to delete all junk fax numbers.

DRPD Mode

This mode enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. In this menu, you can set the machine to recognize which ring patterns to answer. For details about this feature, see Receiving faxes using DRPD mode.

Change Default

Option

Description

Resolution

Changing the resolution setting affects the appearance of the received document.

  • Standard: Originals with normal sized characters.

  • Fine: Originals containing small characters or thin lines or originals printed using a dot-matrix printer.

  • Super Fine: Originals containing extremely fine detail. Super Fine mode is enabled only if the machine with which you are communicating also supports the Super Fine resolution.

    [Note]
    • For memory transmission, Super Fine mode is not available. The resolution setting is automatically changed to Fine.

    • When your machine is set to Super Fine resolution and the fax machine with which you are communicating does not support Super Fine resolution, the machine transmits using the highest resolution mode supported by the other fax machine.

  • Photo Fax: Originals containing shades of gray or photographs.

  • Color Fax: Originals with colors. Sending a color fax is enabled only if the machine with which you are communicating supports color fax reception and you send the fax manually. In this mode, memory transmission is not available.

Darkness

You can select the default contrast mode to fax your originals lighter or darker.
