NOTE: Selector 2 is applicable only to models equipped with a flat-bed scanner. Selector 2: Automatic paper cassette choice in copying If an optional lower cassette is loaded and you have set either of the upper and lower cassettes as being loaded with longer paper from the control panel, then the facsimile equipment may automatically select either of those cassettes in copying depending upon the document length scanned by the ADF. Selectors 3 and 8: Masking of symbol rate(s) These selectors allow you to limit the transmission speed range in V. 34 mode by masking the desired symbol rate(s). Transmission speeds assigned to the symbol rates are listed on the next page. The setting made by these selectors will limit the setting made by selectors 1 through 4 of WSW39. If selector 3 is set to "1" to mask the 3429 symbols/second when the first transmission speed choice is 33600 bps (specified by selectors 1 through 4 of WSW39), for example, then the allowable maximum transmission speed will be limited to 31200 bps. If selector 8 is set to "1" to mask the 2400 symbols/second when the first transmission speed choice is 33600 bps, then the allowable maximum transmission speed remains 33600 bps. If selector 8 is set to "1" to mask the 2400 symbols/second when the first transmission speed choice is 21600 bps (specified by selectors 1 through 4 of WSW39), then the allowable maximum transmission speed remains 21600 bps but the minimum transmission speed will be limited to 4800 bps. 40

NOTE:

WSW40 takes effect only in V. 34 mode.

NOTE:

Selector 2 is applicable only to models equipped with a flat-bed scanner.

Selector 2:

Automatic paper cassette choice in copying

If an optional lower cassette is loaded and you have set either of the upper and lower cassettes as

being loaded with longer paper from the control panel, then the facsimile equipment may

automatically select either of those cassettes in copying depending upon the document length

scanned by the ADF.

Selectors 3 and 8:

Masking of symbol rate(s)

These selectors allow you to limit the transmission speed range in V. 34 mode by masking the

desired symbol rate(s). Transmission speeds assigned to the symbol rates are listed on the next

page. The setting made by these selectors will limit the setting made by selectors 1 through 4 of

WSW39.

If selector 3 is set to "1" to mask the 3429 symbols/second when the first transmission speed

choice is 33600 bps (specified by selectors 1 through 4 of WSW39), for example, then the

allowable maximum transmission speed will be limited to 31200 bps. If selector 8 is set to "1" to

mask the 2400 symbols/second when the first transmission speed choice is 33600 bps, then the

allowable maximum transmission speed remains 33600 bps.

If selector 8 is set to "1" to mask the 2400 symbols/second when the first transmission speed

choice is 21600 bps (specified by selectors 1 through 4 of WSW39), then the allowable maximum

transmission speed remains 21600 bps but the minimum transmission speed will be limited to 4800

bps.
