3 AT Commands for FAX
The following commands can be used for FAX transmission. If the ME is acting as a Fax modem to a
PC-based application (e.g. “WinFax“) it is necessary to select the proper Service Class (Fax Class)
provided by the ME. The ME reports its Service Class capabilities, the current setting and the range of
services available. This is provided by the AT+FCLASS command (see pg. 51).
Note: When sending a FAX with a standard FAX application for Personal Computers it is recom-
mended to use autobauding (AT+IPR=0).

Note: Be aware that there is a difference between Service Classes 2 and 2.0! Only the first is applica-
ble to the ME.
Responses that may occur during a fax call are presented in the form of Unsolicited Result Codes
(URCs). A summary of Fax specific URCs is listed in Chapter 9.1.4, Table 14.
3.1 AT+FBADLIN Bad Line Treshold
Read command
AT+FBADLIN?
This command defines the “Copy-Quality-OK”-threshold. If <badline> consecu-
tive lines have pixel count errors in normal resolution (98 dpi) mode, then the
copy quality is unacceptable. If <badline> * 2 consecutive lines have pixel count
errors in fine resolution (196 dpi) mode, then the copy quality is unacceptable.
“Copy Quality Not OK” occurs if either the error percentage is too high or too
many consecutive lines contain errors. A value of 0 implies that error checking
is not present or disabled.
