To send a fax after releasing ECM mode ([ECM])
Sending a Fax after Canceling ECM Mode ([ECM])
About ECM
ECM is an error correction mode defined by ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication Standardization).
If fax machines support the ECM, they check for fax data errors while communicating with each other. Image disturbances due to telephone line noise can be suppressed.
By default, this machine uses ECM for transmission. If the noise level is high, communication may take a little longer than communication that does not use ECM checking. To reduce the transmission time, you can send faxes with ECM turned off. However, an image error or communication error may occur depending on the specified communication time value, so change the value to suit conditions.
When registering destinations with an address book, you can specify whether to send faxes in the ECM mode in addition to registering fax numbers.
If the ECM function is canceled, the following functions cannot be used together.

Sending a Fax after Canceling the Super G3 Mode ([V34])
V.34
V.34 is a communication mode used for the Super G3 fax communication.
This can shorten the communication time and reduce communication costs because a single page of letter/A4 size paper can be sent in as little as approximately three seconds.
This machine uses the V.34 protocol communication by default. You can send faxes with V.34 canceled if it is not possible to establish a communication in the Super G3 mode depending on telephone line conditions (for example, when the remote or this machine is connected to a PBX line).
When registering destinations with an address book, you can specify whether to send faxes in the V.34 mode in addition to registering fax numbers.
If the V.34 function is canceled, the following functions cannot be used together.
