The transmission of the information on the Internet is done digitally instead of analog. Therefore,

there are different constraints on the fax transmission that may require different fax settings than the

analog Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Fax is very dependent upon timing and signal

quality, so a fax transmission is more sensitive to a VoIP environment.

The following are suggested changes in settings for the HP LaserJet Analog Fax Accessory 500 when it is

connected to a VoIP service:

●

Start off with the fax set in V.34 (Fast) mode and with Error Correction Mode (ECM) turned on.

The V.34 protocol handles any changes in transmission speed needed to accommodate VoIP

networks.

●

If numerous errors or retries occur with the unit set to V.34, set V.34 Off and set speed to

Medium (14,400 bps).

●

If errors and retries persist, set a lower fax speed as some VoIP systems cannot handle the

higher signal rates associated with fax. Set the Maximum Baud Rate to 9,600 bps (Slow).

●

In rare cases, if errors persist, turn off ECM on the product. The image quality might decrease.

Ensure that the image quality is acceptable with ECM off before using this setting. If having the

ECM turned off eliminates errors, set the speed to 14,400 bps to get a faster transmission

speed, and potentially better error rate.

●

If the preceding setting changes have not improved the VoIP fax reliability, contact your VoIP

provider for help.
