BASIC FAX menu
Option Settings
Silent Hode You can turn off the machine sounds either manually or on a daily schedule (for
example, to turn off the sounds after work hours and overnight).
The settings are: off, 0n-Always, and On-Daily. For more information, see Silent
mode on page 34.
Language There are 4 languages you can use for display and reports: English, French,
Spanish and Portuguese.
Sending Confirm A confirmation report shows whether the transmission was successful or not, how
many pages were sent, etc.
ON: prints a confirmation report automatically each time you send a fax.
OFF: never prints a confirmation report (You can print one manually
(see Print reports on page 34)).
ERROR: prints only when an error occurs.
Note that this report can include the Image TCR (see Image TCR on page 26).
Paper Size A4, Letter and Legal are the paper sizes you can use to receive faxes and copy.
Auto Reduction When receiving a document as long as or longer than the paper loaded, the
machine can automatically reduce the data to fit your paper. If the fax machine
cannot fit the data into one page with the feature enabled, the data is divided and
3rinted in actual size on two or more sheets. The settings are Onand off.
Discard Size
If you turn the Automatic Reduction option off, you can set the fax machine
to discard any excess image at the bottom of the page when receiving a document
as long as or longer than the paper loaded in your machine. If the incoming fax is
out of the margin you have set, it will be printed on two sheets of paper.
The Discard Size can be 00 to 30 mm.
Rings To Answer
ECM Mode
You can select the number of rings before answering an incoming call. If you are
using your machine as both a telephone and a fax machine (AUTO mode), we
suggest you set the ring count to at least 4 to give you time to answer.
The number of rings can be 2 to 7.
Error correction mode compensates for poor line quality and ensures accurate,
error-free transmission with any other ECM-equipped facsimile machine. If the line
quality is poor, transmission time may be increased when ECM is enabled.
The settings are On and Off.
