There are two ways for you to change the Init Strings:

  1. Selecting another Init String

    2)Click Server menu, click Devices Settings, you may see your modem model in the Fax Devices Settings dialog.

    3)Click Detect Devices, point to Init strings, select the second Init Strings in the combo box, then click OK.
  2. Changing the Init String manually

If the problem still occurs, unfortunately, you can check for updated modem drivers from your modem manufacturer's website, update the Modem BIOS, or just REPLACE with a new modem. We recommend you to avoid using LOW-COST or SOFT modems for faxing, since such modems are usually only tested for data and Internet connections and do not work very reliable in fax mode.
