Setup Receive
Fax Detect
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Fax Start or the
Fax Receive Code 5 1 ( 9 1 for New Zealand) when you
answer a fax call and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset and
wait a few seconds. Selecting ON allows the fax machine to receive
fax calls automatically, even if you lift the machine’s handset or the
handset of an extension or external phone. When you see
RECEIVE on the LCD or when you hear “chirps” through the
handset of an extension phone connected to another wall
socket/phone socket, just replace the handset and the fax machine
will do the rest. SEMI lets the fax machine receive the fax only if
you’ve answered it at the fax machine.

Printing a reduced incoming fax (Auto Reduction)
If you choose ON, the fax machine automatically reduces an
incoming fax to fit on one page of A4 size paper, regardless of the
paper size of the document.

OFF).

If you have set this feature to FAX DETECT:ON, but your
machine does not automatically connect a fax call when
you lift an external or extension phone handset, press the
Fax Receive Code 5 1 ( 9 1 for New Zealand). At the
machine lift the handset and then press Fax Start.
If you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line
and the machine intercepts them, set this feature to
FAX DETECT:OFF. (We do not recommend having a PC
plus fax on the same line.)
Selecting FAX DETECT:OFF means you’ll have to activate
the machine yourself by pressing Fax Start.
OR
Press 5 1 ( 9 1 for New Zealand) on the external or
extension phone if you are not at your machine.
If you receive faxes that are split on two pages, turn on this
setting. If the document is too long, however, the fax
machine may print it on two pages.
When Auto Reduction is turned on and an incoming
document is smaller than your paper, no reduction will take
place, and you will get the same size as the sender’s
document.
