Set the fax error correction mode
Typically, the device monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or
receiving a fax. If it detects an error signal during the transmission and the error-
correction setting is on, the device 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, when you receive a
fax from another country/region, or if you are using a satellite phone connection.

▲ Device control panel: Press FAX, select Advance Fax Setup menu, and then
select Error correction mode.

Set the redial options
If the device was unable to send a fax because the receiving fax machine did not
answer or was busy, the device attempts to redial based on the settings for the busy-
redial and no-answer-redial options. Use the following procedure to turn the options on
or off.
•
Busy redial: If this option is turned on, the device redials automatically if it
receives a busy signal. The factory-set default for this option is ON.
• No answer redial: If this option is turned on, the device redials automatically if the
receiving fax machine does not answer. The factory-set default for this option is OFF.
