ECM (Error Correction Mode)
The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the MFC to check a 
fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are only 
possible between machines that both have this feature. If they do, 
you may send and receive fax messages that are continuously being 
checked by the machine.
Your MFC must have enough memory for this feature to work.

If you do not receive all your faxes, you must reset the setting 
on your external TAD to four rings.
If You Subscribe to your Telephone Company’s Distinctive Ring 
Service: 
You may connect an external TAD to a separate wall jack only 
if you subscribe to your telephone company’s Distinctive Ring 
service, have registered the distinctive ring pattern on your 
MFC, use that number as a fax number and set your machine’s 
Receive mode to MANUAL. The recommended setting is three

Special Line Considerations
Roll Over Phone Lines
A roll over phone system is a group of two or more separate telephone lines 
that pass incoming calls to each other if they are busy. The calls are usually 
passed down or “rolled over” to the next available phone line in a preset order.
Your MFC can work in a roll over system as long as it is the last 
number in the sequence, so the call cannot roll away. Do not put the 
MFC on any of the other numbers; when the other lines are busy...

Installing MFC, External Two-Line TAD and Two-Line 
Telephone
When you are installing an external two-line telephone answering 
device (TAD) and a two-line telephone, your MFC must be isolated 
on one line at both the wall jack and at the TAD. The most common 
connection is to put the MFC on Line 2, which is explained in the 
following steps. The back of the two-line TAD must have two 
telephone jacks: one labeled L1 or L1/L2, and the other labeled L2. 
You will need at least three...

Multi-Line Connections (PBX)
Most offices use a central telephone system. While it is often 
relatively simple to connect the machine to a key system or a PBX 
(Private Branch Exchange), we suggest that you contact the 
company that installed your telephone system and ask them to 
connect the MFC for you. It is advisable to have a separate line for 
the MFC. You can then leave the MFC in FAX mode to receive faxes 
any time of day or night.
If the MFC is to be connected to a multi-line...
