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.

In the administrator mode, select [Store Address] - [Address Book] - [New Registration]. Select [Search from Function] - [Fax], then configure the following settings.

Settings

Description

[No.]

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

[Name]

Enter the destination name using up to 24 characters.

Assign a name that helps you easily identify the destination.

[Index]

Select a corresponding character so that the destination can be index-searched by registration name.

  • For a frequently used destination, select also the [Main] check box. If the [Main] check box is selected, the destination will appear in the main screen of the fax/scan mode, enabling the user to easily select a destination.

[Destination]

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

  • If your environment is Private Branch Exchange (PBX), entering "E-" first inserts the registered outside line number automatically.

  • If your environment is Private Branch Exchange (PBX), entering "P" following the outside line number ensures the dialing.

  • If you wish to send out a push signal over the dial line, enter "T".

  • Tap "-" to separate a dial number. It does not affect the dialing of the number.

[Confirm Fax Number]

Enter a destination fax number again for confirmation purposes.

This option is displayed when [ON] is set by selecting [Fax Settings] - [Function Setting] - [Function ON/OFF Setting] - [Confirm Address (Register)] in Administrator mode.

[Line Setting]

If multiple lines are used, select the line used to send a fax. In general use, use [Line 1]. If [No Selection] is selected, either line, whichever is not busy, is used for transmission.

[Communication Setting]

As necessary, click [Display] and specify how to send a fax to a destination you wish 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]: Select this option to send a fax to areas where communication conditions are poor. Faxes are sent at a lower speed.

  • [Check Destination]: Select this option to use Check Dest. & Send. 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.
