the machine will not redial.
MSG Confirm You can set your machine to print a report showing whether the
transmission was successful, how many pages were sent, and more.
The available options are On, Off and On-Error, which prints only when
a transmission is not successful.
Auto Report A report with detailed information about the previous 50
communications operations, including time and dates. The available
options are On or Off.
Auto Reduction When receiving a document as long as or longer than the paper loaded
in the paper tray, the machine can reduce the size of the document to fit
the size of paper loaded in the machine. Select On if you want to
automatically reduce an incoming page.
With this feature set to Off, the machine cannot reduce the document
to fit onto one page, the document is divided and printed in actual size
on two or more pages.
Discard Size When receiving a document as long as longer than the paper installed in
your machine, you can set the machine to discard any excess at the
bottom of the page. If the received page is outside the margin you set,
it will print on two sheets of paper at the actual size.
When the document is within the margin and the Auto Reduction feature
is turned on, the machine reduces the document to fit it onto the
appropriate sized paper and discard does not occur. If the Auto
Reduction feature is turned off or fails, the data within the margin will
be discarded. Settings range from 0 to 30 mm.
Receive Code
The Receive Code allows you to initiate fax reception from an extension
phone plugged into the EXT jack on the back of the machine. If you pick
up the extension phone and hear fax tones, enter the Receive Code. The
code is preset to 9 at the factory. Settings range from 0 to 9. See
page 2.8.
DRPD Mode
You can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD)
feature which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer
several different telephone numbers. In this menu, you can set the machine
to recognize the ring patterns to answer. See page 2.8
