Beyond the basics

Reduction margin

Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimeters (mm). We’ll define it by explaining how it’s used:

When a fax message enters your machine’s electronic brain, the machine measures the message’s length and compares it to (a) the length of your selected paper plus

(b)the reduction margin you 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 24mm 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 standalone half-page reception in memory until a second half-page message follows.

Making the printing settings

1	Press /PROGRAM, J, 0, 2, ENTER. The LCD shows the currently set print
	reduction rate:

Prnt Reduc

Rate:Auto

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

2	To change the setting, press or /PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen
	reduction setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen 91%.

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

3 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD shows the current setting for the reduction margin:

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 5.

Otherwise, proceed to step 4.

4 To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the reduction margin you want. If necessary, press or /PROGRAM to move the cursor if you need. In this example, we’ve chosen 35mm.

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

5 Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD shows the current setting for half- page reception:

Half Page Recpt:

Off

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 7.

Otherwise, proceed to step 6.

6	To change the setting, press or /PROGRAM once or twice until your choice
	appears. In this example, we’ve chosen On.

Half Page Recpt: On

Program/Enter

7 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Making settings for copying

You can set two parameters for copying:

•Copy reduction rate — Works the same way as the print reduction rate (see page 2.3 for more details).

•Reduction margin — Serves the same purpose as the reduction margin for print- ing (see earlier information on this page).

You set both in the same operation, as with the three printing settings.

Note: The same options, in terms of both reduction settings and reduction mar- gins are available for copy reduction as for print reduction. (If necessary, review the preceding discussion, “Making settings for printing faxes,” begin- ning on page 2.3.) The difference, here, is that you probably are better off with a setting of 00 on the reduction margin.
