10. SENDING FAXES WITH THE ECM FEATURE (only for FAX-500M)

Error correction mode (ECM) is a means for checking the integrity
of a fax transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are

only possible between two machines which both have the ECM

feature. Also, the feature requires a certain amount of memory in
order to function.

To send a document in ECM mode set the document in the paper

feed.

START

Press the

MEMORY/ECM

key to light the ECM LED and dial the

number of the destination. You can dial using the number keys or
use one-touch dialing, speed dialing or the Telephone Index.

Finally, press the

START

key to send the fax. As the document is

sent, the transmitting and receiving machines will constantly check
the transmission. If an error occurs, the erroneous part of the
transmission is automatically ignored and the relevant data re­
transmitted. The ECM LED remains on during transmission to

indicate that the fax is being sent in ECM mode.

If there is not enough machine memory available for ECM to work
properly, or if the receiving fax machine does not have the ECM
feature, the document is sent normally, that is, without any error
correction.In these two cases the ECM LED does not remain on
during the transmission - this indicates that the fax is not being
transmitted in ECM mode.

- Since the units are constantly checking the data and may have to

retransmit some of the lines, there maybe a slight increase in

transmission time.
