Before Using the Fax Function
Setting the Display Language
If you decide to switch the display language, set Language Switch to 'On' before entering characters.
If Language Switch is set to 'Off', and then you set it to 'On' after entering characters, the characters
may not be displayed correctly. In this case, either re-enter the characters after setting Language
Switch to 'On', or enter characters with Language Switch set to 'Off'.
If Language Switch is set to 'On', some characters are restricted and cannot be entered. (See e-Manual
> Additional Functions.)
Selecting the Type of Telephone Line
Set the type of telephone line that is connected to the machine.
If this setting is incorrect, you will be unable to communicate with other machines. Be sure to check
the type of telephone line that you are using, and make the correct setting.
The telephone line type you can select here is for line 1. To select the telephone line type for an additional line, see
e-Manual > Send/Fax.
For this setting, the optional fax board is required.
1 Press (Additional Functions) → [Communications Settings] → [Line
Options] under <Fax Settings>
→ [Line 1] → [Tel Line Type].
2 Select the type of telephone line → press [OK].
If you do not know the telephone line type, call your telephone service provider for details.
Setting the Current Date and Time
You can set the current date and time. The current date and time settings are used as standard timer
settings for functions that require them.
• GMT: GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time.
• Time Zone: The standard time zones of the world are expressed globally in terms of the
difference in hours (up to 12 hours) from GMT (0 hours). A time zone is a region
throughout which this time difference is the same.
• Daylight Saving Time: In some countries, time is advanced throughout the summer season. The period in
which this is applied is called "Daylight Saving Time."
You can also specify to automatically synchronize the date and time with a server on the network from the
Additional Functions screen. (See “TCP/IPv4 Settings,” on p. 5-3.)
