Registering a Fax Address

A fax address can be registered or edited using Web Connection. Although character input is a difficult process using the Touch Panel, it can be carried out easily if you use the computer.

Select [Store Address] - [Address Book] - [New Registration] in user mode or administrator mode of Web Connection. In [Select Destination], select [Fax], and configure the following settings.

Setting

Description

[No.]

Destination registration number. Select [Use opening number] to automatically assign the smallest available number. When you want to specify a number, select [Input directly] and then enter a number.

[Name]

Enter the destination name (using up to 24 characters).

[Index]

Select an index to search for a destination using the registered name.

For a frequently used destination, select the [Main] check box. The destinations are displayed on the destination selection screen, enabling the user to easily select a destination.

[Destination]

Enter the destination fax number (using up to 38 digits, including symbols #, *, -, and characters T, P, and E).

  • [T] or [*]: Enter the fax number when issuing a push signal in dial-up line mode (while [Dialing Method] is set to [10pps] or [20pps]).

  • [P]: Enter this when you want to insert a wait time between dials.

  • [-]: Enter this to separate a dial number. It does not affect the dialing of the number.

  • [E-]: Enter the registered outside line number in PBX environment. Enter this when [PBX Connection Setting] ( [Configuring connection settings for a PBX environment] ) is set to ON.

[Confirm Fax Number]

Enter the fax number again.

This option is displayed when [Confirm Address (Register)] ( [Enabling/Disabling the Fax Functions] ) is set to ON.

[Communication Setting]

If necessary, specify how to send a fax to a destination you want to register. You may change the settings you made here before sending a fax.

  • [V34 Off]: V.34 is a communication mode used for super G3 fax communication. When the remote machine or this machine is connected to a telephone line via PBX, however, you may not establish a communication in the super G3 mode depending on telephone line conditions. In this case, it is recommended that you turn the V.34 mode off to send data.

  • [ECM Off]: ECM is an error correction mode defined by ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication Standardization Sector). Fax machines equipped with the ECM feature communicate with each other, confirming that the sent data is free of errors. This prevents image blurring caused by telephone line noise. The communication time can be reduced by setting ECM to OFF for transmission. However, an image error or communication error may occur depending on the specified communication time value, so change the value to suit conditions.

  • [International Communication]: Used to send a fax to areas where communication conditions are poor. Faxes are sent at a lower speed.

  • [Check Destination]: The fax number specified for fax is checked against the destination fax number (CSI) and the fax is sent only when they match.

[Limiting Access to Destinations]

Limit access to this destination, if necessary.
