12-20-93 Cannot Fax V-series
As hard as the developers of the code try, there will always be a fax
you can't send to or maybe recv a fax from. Each fax has it's own built-in
code, and it's just impossible to make every one perfectly compatible (even
between fax machines). The Zoom V-series (V32 & V42bis) modems support both
Class-1 & Class-2 fax. If your software also has the Class1 driver try
that on stubborn fax's. Very often, one driver will work when another does
not. One is not 'better' than the other, just different. Class-1 seems to
work better on some 'noisy' lines than Class-2.
Also try setting a slower speed, in case the connection doesn't
support 14,400 (between two 14,400 faxmodems) but does support 9600 to fax
machines.
Sometime you might have trouble with 1 fax machine you usually fax to
OK. This may clear up if you call right back (you will get different
connections). Or the phone company may be routing the call on a different
route for a few hours or even a day.
* At least 1 fax machine (Panasonic) needs to have the 'frequency'
changed on the FAX machine to receive from a Faxmodem. Other brands may
need this change too.
MTEZ comes with CLASS2.FXH. You can Download CLASS1.FXH from the Zoom BBS
5PM - 8AM and weekends. 617-451-5284.
After you put CLASS1.FXH in your MTEZ <dir>, In the CAS SETUP you just
highlight the Driver and press the space bar, and it will change your
driver. You do have to remove FAXMAN /R and re-load Faxman after the
change.
If you have other FAX software call the Mfr for a Class1 driver.
(If none of this helps then the modem is probably defective).
