							Setting the fax-error-correction mode
Usually, the all-in-one monitors the signals on the telephone line while it is sending or receiving a fax.
If the all-in-one detects an error during  the transmission and the error-correction setting is  On, the all-
in-one can request that the portion of the fax  be resent. The factory-set default for error correction is
On .
You should turn off error correction only if you  are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and you
are willing to accept the errors in the transmission.  Turning off the setting might be useful when you
are trying to send a fax overseas or receive one from overseas, or if you are using a satellite

bits per second (bps). The factory-set default for the  V.34 setting is On.
You should change the V.34 setting only if you are having trouble sending a fax to or receiving a fax

							Other ways to set up your fax
You can receive faxes to the all-in-one or to your computer. In general, incoming faxes to the all-in-
one are automatically answered. However, if you change the devices that are connected to the same
telephone line as the all-in-one, you must change how the all-in-one answers incoming faxes. See
Setting the answer mode for instructions.
Follow the procedures in this section to manage faxes that are routed to the all-in-one.
To receive faxes when you hear fax tones
If you have a telephone line that receives both fax and telephone calls, and you hear fax tones when
you answer the telephone, you can start the receiving process in one of two ways:
● If you are close to the all-in-one, press 
Start Fax on the control panel.
● When you answer any telephone connected to the line (an extension telephone) and hear fax
tones, the all-in-one should begin answering the call automatically. If not, press 1-2-3 in
sequence on the telephone keypad (in tone-dialing mode only), listen for fax transmission
sounds, and then hang up.
NOTE
In order for the second method to work, the extension telephone setting must be set
to  YES . See 
Making an extension telephone available to receive faxes  to check or change the
setting.
Setting the answer mode
Depending on your situation, you can set the all-in-one answer mode to  Automatic or Manual . The
factory-set default is  Automatic.
● Automatic:
 In this answer mode, the all-in-one answers incoming calls after a specified number
of rings or upon recognition of special fax tones. To specify the number of rings, see 
Changing
the rings-to-answer setting .
● Manual:
 In this answer mode, the all-in-one never answers calls. You must start the fax-
receiving process yourself, either by pressing  Start Fax on the control panel or by picking up a
telephone that is connected to that line and dialing 1-2-3 (in tone-dial mode only).
NOTE Although most users leave the answer mode set to  Automatic, voice callers who dial
the fax telephone number will hear fax tones if the  telephone is not answered, or if they do not
hang up by the specified number of rings-to-answer. If  you do not want voice callers to hear
fax tones, use the Manual  setting. But remember that fax calls are not received automatically
when the mode is set to  Manual.
To set the answer mode
To set or change the answer mode, complete the following steps:
1.On the all-in-one control panel, press  Menu.
2. Use the  < or the  > button to select  Fax setup, and then press 
.
3. Use the  < or the  > button to select  Fax Recv. setup , and then press
