Setting the print parameters

You can set two parameters for printing received fax messages:

•Print reduction rate

•Reduction margin

Print reduction rate

Print reduction lets you set the machine to reduce a large incoming document to a size which will fit on your paper. Copy reduction lets you reduce the size of copies made on your fax machine. Here are the options for both print reduction and copy reduction settings:

Setting	What it does
	Automatically reduces printouts at variable rates down to a
Auto	minimum of 75%. Tries to reduce printout to fit on one sheet of
	your selected paper size; if cannot, prints the image at 100% size
	on two or more pages.
100%	Performs no reduction. (Due to the sender’s TTI, this may print two
	pages when receiving a one-page fax document. See 97%, below.)
97%	Reduces an original so that the final printout of a one-page docu-
	ment (if the original is not larger than the paper in your machine)
	will be only one page long, despite the TTI.
91%	Provides slightly more reduction.
81%	Provides even greater reduction. Helpful for certain international
	stationery sizes, as well as special applications.
75%	Turns legal-sizedoriginals into US letter-sizedprinted copies.

For best results …

The printout may omit a small bit of the image at the page break if the machine tries to reduce a legal-sized page onto letter-sized paper at any set- ting other than 75%. So whenever possible, load the correct paper size before receiving a fax (or making a copy) of that size.

Beyond the basics

Reduction margin

Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimeters (mm).

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 40mm will print most incoming faxes as single pages. Try this combination first and then, only if you have problems with it, select different settings.

Setting the print parameters

1 Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 2. The LCD shows:

Print Parameters

2 Press ENTER. The LCD shows the current set print reduction rate:

Reduc Rate :Auto

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.

If not, go on to step 3.

3 To change the setting, press or repeatedly until the setting you want appears.

In this example, we chose 91%.

Reduc Rate : 91%

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

Margin(0-85): 40

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 6.

If not, go on to step 5.

5 To change the setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the reduction margin you want. If necessary, press or to move the cursor if you need.

In this example, we chose 38 mm.

Margin(0-85): 38

6 Press ENTER to save the setting.
