Epson EcoTank ET-4550 - Manual (Page 24)

Menu Settings and Explanations
Basic Settings Fax Speed Select the fax transmission speed.
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.
Header Enter your sender name and fax number. These appear as a header on
outgoing faxes.
You can enter up to 40 characters for your name, and up to 20 digits for your
fax number.

someone else or dispose of it.
