Reduction margin

Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimetres (mm). We’ll define reduction margin 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 (a) and (b) put together, your machine prints the message on just one sheet. If it’s longer, your machine 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 can conserve 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 only combines half-page messages sent back-to-back during the same transmission. It won’t combine two half-page faxes from separate transmissions.

Copy settings

You can set two parameters for copying:

•Copy reduction rate — Works the same way as the print reduction rate (see page 2.2 for more details).

•Reduction margin — Serves the same purpose as the reduction margin for printing (see “Reduction margin,” left column).

You set both parameters in the same operation:

Note: The manufacturer suggests a reduction margin of 00 for your copy settings.
