If you receive faxes that are split on two pages, change the reduction to
AUTO
OR
—Choose a lower reduction percentage.
When you use Auto Reduction to reduce incoming documents to fit on one page
of recording paper, you can do so only as long as the original document is not
longer than 35 cm. If the original is longer than 35 cm, the data will not be
reduced and will carry over to print on a second page.
When you use Auto Reduction and you receive an incoming document that is
smaller than your recording paper, no reduction will take place, and you will get
the same size recorded as the original.
