## TX Function Settings

Specify settings for sending faxes.

##### Change Default Settings

Specify settings used for sending faxes. The selected settings are used as the default settings when scanning documents. Changing Default Settings

Resolution 200 x 100 dpi (Normal) 200 x 200 dpi (Fine) 200 x 200 dpi (Photo) 200 x 400 dpi (Superfine) 400 x 400 dpi (Ultrafine) Density Nine Levels 2-Sided Original Off Book Type Calendar Type Sharpness Seven Levels

##### Register Unit Name (Fax)

Register the name of a company or person (Registering the Fax Number and Unit Name). The registered name is sent as sender information to the destination (TX Terminal ID).

##### ECM TX

Enable or disable error correction mode (ECM). ECM checks for fax data errors and corrects them. To reduce errors on received faxes, see ECM RX.

Off On

<Menu> <Fax Settings> <TX Function Settings> <ECM TX> <On>

ECM must be enabled on both the machine and the other fax device because error checks are performed on both the sending and receiving devices. Even when ECM is enabled, errors may occur due to telephone line conditions. It may take a longer time than usual to process data when ECM is enabled because the error checks and corrections are performed while the data is transmitted.

##### Set Pause Time

For example, when you make calls by dialing "0 - (pause) - (telephone number)", 0 is dialed first and then a few seconds later, the telephone number. When sending faxes overseas, you need to specify destinations by dialing "(international access code) - (country code) - (area code) - (fax number)" but consecutive numbers that are input without pauses may not be recognized correctly. In this case, try adding a pause after the international access code or the fax number. If the code or the number is still not recognized correctly, change the duration of the pause. For instructions on how to enter a pause, see step 3 on Sending Faxes .

1 to 2 to 15 (sec.)

<Menu> <Fax Settings> <TX Function Settings> <Set Pause Time> Specify the duration of pause <Apply>
