Set the fax error correction mode
Typically, the device monitors the signals on the phone line while it is sending or receiving
a fax. If it detects an error signal during the transmission and the error-correction setting
is on, the device can request that a portion of the fax be resent.
Turn off error correction only if you are having trouble sending or receiving a fax, and you
want to accept the errors in the transmission. Turning off the setting might be useful when
you are trying to send a fax to another country/region or receive a fax from another
country/region, or if you are using a satellite phone connection.

▲ Press Fax, open the Advanced Fax Setup menu, and then use the Error correction
mode option.
