Auto
Reduction
When receiving a fax containing pages as long as or
longer than the paper loaded in the paper tray, the
machine can reduce the size of the original to fit the
size of the paper loaded in the machine. Turn on this
feature if you want to automatically reduce an
incoming page.
With this feature set to Off, the machine cannot
reduce the original to fit onto one page. The original
will be divided and printed in actual size on two or
more pages.
Discard
Size
When receiving a fax containing pages as long as or
longer than the paper in your machine, you can set
the machine to discard a specific length from the end
of the received fax. The machine will print the
received fax on one or more sheets of paper, except
the data that would have been on the specified
discard segment.
When the received fax contains pages larger than the
paper in your machine, and Auto Reduction has
been turned on, the machine will reduce the fax to fit
on the existing paper, and nothing will be discarded.
