Otherwise, your fax will not be received. 1 From the home screen, navigate to: > Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Max Send Speed 2 Select a sending speed, and then touch Accept. SET THE PRINTER TO SCAN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT BEFORE DIALING THE NUMBER The printer does not automatically redial if you set it to scan the original document after dialing the number.

The printer can then retrieve it and automatically redial the number. 1 From the home screen, navigate to: > Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Scan 2 Touch Before Dial, and then touch Accept. ENABLE ERROR CORRECTION Errors and blurs may appear in the faxed document if there is too much noise on the line.

When a fax has too many errors, the fax may be rejected by the receiving fax machine. 1 From the home screen, navigate to: > Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Error Correction 2 Touch On, and then touch Accept. ENABLE AUTOMATIC FAX CONVERSION If the receiving fax machine does not support color fax, then this option automatically converts the outgoing color fax to black and white. It also automatically reduces the resolution of the fax to a resolution that the receiving machine can support. 1 From the home screen, navigate to: > Fax Setup > Dialing and Sending > Auto Fax Convert 2 Check to see if automatic fax conversion is set to On. If it is not set to On, touch On, and then touch Accept. MAKE SURE THAT THE DIAL PREFIX SETTING IS CORRECT The dialing prefix is the number or series of numbers that you press before you can dial the actual fax number or telephone number.
