Rcv Start Code

This code allows you to initiate fax reception from

 

an extension phone plugged into the EXT socket

 

on the back of the printer. If you pick up the

 

extension phone and hear fax tones, enter the

 

code. It is preset to *9* at the factory.

Auto Reduction

When receiving a fax containing pages as long as

 

or longer than the paper loaded in the paper tray,

 

the printer can reduce the size of the original to fit

 

the size of the paper loaded in the printer. Turn on

 

this feature if you want to automatically reduce an

 

incoming page.

 

With this feature set to Off, the printer 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 printer, you can

 

set the printer to discard a specific length from the

 

end of the received fax. The printer will print the

 

received fax on one or more sheets of paper,

 

minus the data that would have been on the

 

specified discard segment.

 

When the received fax contains pages larger than

 

the paper in your printer, and Auto Reduction

 

has been turned on, the printer will reduce the fax

 

to fit on the existing paper, and nothing will be

 

discarded.

fax number.
