Reduction margin
Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimetres (mm). We’ll define it
by explaining how it’s used:
When a fax message enters your machine, it measures the message’s length and
compares it to
(a) the length of your selected paper plus
(b) the reduction margin you have set.
If the length of the incoming message is shorter than the sum of (a) and (b), your
machine prints the message on just one sheet; otherwise, it prints the message on
more than one sheet.
Note:
An Auto reduction setting and a reduction margin setting of 24 mm will print
most incoming faxes as single pages. Try this combination first and then, only
if you have problems with it, select different settings.
Half-page reception
Half-page reception is especially handy for saving paper if some of the faxes you
receive are half-page, “memo-sized” messages. When activated, this feature tells the
machine to combine two of these half-page receptions onto a single sheet. Half-page
reception combines separate half-page messages sent back-to-back during the same
transmission. If you have half-page reception turned on, your fax won’t hold a
standard one half-page reception in memory until a second half-page message
follows.
