We recommend selecting Slow(9,600bps) when a communication error occurs frequently, when sending/receiving a fax to/from abroad, or when you are using an IP (VoIP) phone service. ECM Automatically corrects errors in the fax transmission (Error Correction Mode), mostly caused by telephone line noise. If this is disabled, you cannot send or receive documents in color.
Dial Tone Detection Detects a dial tone before starting to dial. If the printer is connected to a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or digital phone line, the printer may fail to start dialing. In this situation, change the Line Type setting to PBX. If this does not work, disable this feature. However, disabling this feature may drop the first digit of a fax number and send the fax to the wrong number. Dial Mode Select the type of phone system to which you have connected the printer. When set to Pulse, you can temporarily switch the dialing mode from pulse to tone by pressing ("T" is entered) while entering numbers on the fax top screen.
Depending on the region, this setting may not be displayed. Line Type Select the line type to which you have connected the printer. For more details, see the page that describes basic fax settings.
