Fax tones and handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the fax machine sends fax calling tones (CNG 
tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds. Youā€™ll hear them after 
you dial and press 

Fax Start

 and they will continue for about 60 seconds after 

dialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin the ā€œhandshakeā€ with the 
receiving machine.

Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you are sending CNG tones 
over the phone line. Youā€™ll soon learn to listen for these quiet beeps each time you 
answer a phone on your fax line, so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud, chirping 
sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over the phone line, and the 
LCD shows 

RECEIVE

If the fax machine is set to the 

FAX ONLY

 mode, it will answer every call 

automatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up, the fax machine 
will continue to send the ā€œchirpsā€ for about 40 seconds, and the LCD continues to 
show 

RECEIVE

. To cancel the receiving, press 

Stop/Exit

.

The fax ā€˜handshakeā€™ is the time in which the sending machineā€™s CNG tones and the 
receiving machines ā€œchirpsā€ overlap. This must be for at least 2 to 4 seconds, so the 
fax machines can understand how each is sending and receiving the fax. The 
handshake cannot begin until the call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for 
about 60 seconds after the number is dialed. So it is important for the receiving 
machine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the fax machine to check a fax 
transmission while it is in progress. ECM transmissions are only possible between 
machines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send and receive fax 
messages that are continuously being checked by the machine.

The fax machine must have enough memory for this feature to work.

When you have an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD) on your fax 
line, your TAD will decide the number of rings before the call is answered.
Pay special attention to the directions for connecting a TAD in this chapter. 
(See 

Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD)

 on page 1-9.)
