WSW36 (Function setting 14) Selector No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 | 8 Function Setting and Specifications ECP* mode Recovery from inactive PC interface PC power-off recognition time Not used.

Selector 2: Recovery from inactive PC interface If the facsimile equipment recognizes via the STB signal line that the connected PC is powered off, then it will turn the PC interface output Low to protect the PC from hazards that could be caused by weak electric current accidentally flown from the equipment. This selector determines whether the equipment should recover from the inactive PC interface to normal interfacing state upon receipt of data from the PC. Selector 3: PC power-off recognition time This selector sets the time length from when the equipment detects the PC powered off until it recognizes the detected state as power-off. If selector 2 is set to "0," it is recommended that selector 3 be set to "1": otherwise, the equipment may mistakenly detect PC powered off. Selector 5: Escape from phase C This selector determines whether or not the equipment will escape from phase C when it detects an RTC (Return to Control) in non-ECM mode or an RCP (Return to Control Partial page) in ECM mode. Selectors 6 through 8: Lower limit of frequency to be ignored after detection of calling signals (Ci) At the start of reception, if the equipment detects the frequency of calling signals (Ci) specified by selectors 1 through 4 of WSW14, it will start the ringer sounding. When doing so, the equipment may fail to detect the calling signals normally due to noises superimposed at the time of reception. To prevent it, use selectors 6 through 8 of WSW36. If the equipment detects higher frequencies than the lower limit specified by these selectors, then it will regard them as noise and interpret that detecting state as being normal, allowing the ringer to keep sounding (until the equipment starts automatic reception of FAX data if in the FAX mode or enters the TAD mode if set in the TEL mode, according to the preset number of ringers). 36

*ECP (Enhanced Capabilities Port)

Selector 1:

ECP mode

The ECP mode enhances the normal bidirectional communications between the facsimile

equipment and the connected PC for higher transmission speed.

Selector 2:

Recovery from inactive PC interface

If the facsimile equipment recognizes via the STB signal line that the connected PC is powered off,

then it will turn the PC interface output Low to protect the PC from hazards that could be caused

by weak electric current accidentally flown from the equipment.

This selector determines whether the equipment should recover from the inactive PC interface to

normal interfacing state upon receipt of data from the PC.

Selector 3:

PC power-off recognition time

This selector sets the time length from when the equipment detects the PC powered off until it

recognizes the detected state as power-off.

If selector 2 is set to "0," it is recommended that selector 3 be set to "1": otherwise, the equipment

may mistakenly detect PC powered off.

Selector 5:

Escape from phase C

This selector determines whether or not the equipment will escape from phase C when it detects an

RTC (Return to Control) in non-ECM mode or an RCP (Return to Control Partial page) in ECM

mode.

Selectors 6 through 8:

Lower limit of frequency to be ignored after detection of calling signals (Ci)

At the start of reception, if the equipment detects the frequency of calling signals (Ci) specified by

selectors 1 through 4 of WSW14, it will start the ringer sounding. When doing so, the equipment

may fail to detect the calling signals normally due to noises superimposed at the time of reception.

To prevent it, use selectors 6 through 8 of WSW36.

If the equipment detects higher frequencies than the lower limit specified by these selectors, then it

will regard them as noise and interpret that detecting state as being normal, allowing the ringer to

keep sounding (until the equipment starts automatic reception of FAX data if in the FAX mode or

enters the TAD mode if set in the TEL mode, according to the preset number of ringers).
