A report with detailed information about the previous 50 communications operations, including time and dates. The available options are On or Off.

When receiving a document as long as or longer than the paper loaded in the paper tray, the multi-function printer can reduce the size of the document to fit the size of paper loaded in the multi-function printer. Select On if you want to automatically reduce the incoming document.

With this feature set to Off, the multi-function printer cannot reduce the document to fit onto one page. The document is divided and printed in actual size on two or more pages.

When receiving a document as long as or longer than the paper installed in your multi- function printer, you can set the multi-function printer 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 multi-function printer 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 0-30 mm.

The Receive Code allows you to initiate fax reception from an extension phone plugged into the Phone connector ( ) on the back of the multi-function printer. If you pick up the extension phone and hear fax tones, enter the Receive Code. The Receive Code is preset to *9* at the factory. Settings range from 0-9. See page 126 for more information about using the code.

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 multi-function printer to recognize the ring patterns to answer. For details about this feature, see page 127.
