Auto Reduction

When

receiving

a document

as long as or longer than

the paper loaded,

the

machine can automatically reduce the data to fit your paper. If the fax machine

cannot fit the data into one page with the feature enabled, the data is divided and

3rinted in actual size on two or more sheets. The settings are Onand off.

Discard Size If you turn the Automatic Reduction option off, you can set the fax machine

to discard any excess image at the bottom of the page when receiving a document as long as or longer than the paper loaded in your machine. If the incoming fax is

out of the margin you have set, it will be printed on two sheets of paper. The Discard Size can be 00 to 30 mm.

Rings To Answer You can select the number of rings before answering an incoming call. If you are using your machine as both a telephone and a fax machine (AUTO mode), we suggest you set the ring count to at least 4 to give you time to answer.

The number of rings can be 2 to 7.

ECM Mode	Error correction	mode compensates for poor line quality and ensures accurate,
	error-free transmission with		any other	ECM-equipped	facsimile	machine. If the line
	quality is poor,	transmission	time may	be increased	when ECM	is enabled.
	The settings are On and Off.
