Fax Settings

This section describes settings that the System Manager can make, including how to set the Send Start Speed, Receive Start Speed, RX (Receive) mode, and how to register a password. It also describes how to set, change, and erase settings for transferring received documents, and how to enable or disable certain settings.


Remark
  • This mode is available only if the optional fax board is installed.

  • Send/Receive Start Speed

This function enables you to change the send and receive start speeds, which is useful when there is difficulty initiating the sending or receiving of a document.

  • Receive Password

This function enables you to set an optional ITU-T standard password. If a subaddress is not set in a document that was received from another party using the ITU-T standard, an RX password check takes place. If the RX password found does not match the RX password set with this mode, or if an RX password is not attached to the document, the document is not received.


Remark
  • ITU-T stands for International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector, which is the group that makes recommendations towards the standardization of worldwide telecommunications.
