ENWW Configuring fax options 125
Setting the fax error-correction mode
Normally, the all-in-one monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or receiving a
fax. If the all-in-one detects an error signal during the transmission and the error-correction
setting is on, the all-in-one can request that a portion of the fax be resent.
Turn off error correction only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and you want
to accept the errors in the transmission. Turning off the setting might be useful when you are
trying to send a fax to another country/region or receive a fax from another country/region, or if
you are using a satellite phone connection.

Setting silent detection on older-model fax machines
This setting controls whether or not you can receive faxes from older-model fax machines that
do not emit a fax signal during fax transmissions. At the time of this publication, these
silent-model fax machines represented very few of the fax machines in use.
Turn on the silent detect option only if you regularly receive faxes from someone who uses an
older-model fax machine.
