Muratec F-98 Making settings for copying, Reduction margin, Adjusting the print settings

Beyond the basics

Reduction margin

Your fax machine’s reduction margin is measured in millimeters (mm). We’ll define it 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 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.

Adjusting the print settings

1 Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 2, ENTER. The LCD shows the currently set print reduc- tion rate:

Prnt Reduc Rate:Auto

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.

Otherwise, proceed to step 2.

2 To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen reduction setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen 91%.

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

Program/Enter

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

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

Margin(0-85mm): 40

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 5.

Otherwise, proceed to step 4.

4 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’ve chosen 38mm.

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

Margin(0-85mm): 38

5 Press ENTER to save the setting.

Making settings for copying

You can set three parameters for copying:

•Copy sort/stack — Your fax machine can either sort or stack multiple copies of a document. If it stacks them, it will make four copies of a two-page document as: 1, 1, 1, 1 — 2, 2, 2, 2. If it sorts them, it will make four copies of the same two- page documents as: 1, 2 — 1, 2 — 1, 2 — 1, 2.

(If the sorting copy is “Off”, the fax machine will stack.)

•Copy reduction rate — Works the same way as the print reduction rate (see page 2.3 for more details).

•Reduction margin — Serves the same purpose as the reduction margin for print- ing (see earlier information on this page).

You set both in the same operation, as with the printing settings.

Note: The same options, in terms of both reduction settings and reduction mar- gins, are available for copy reduction as for print reduction. (If necessary, review the preceding discussion, “Making settings for printing faxes,” begin- ning on page 2.3.) The difference, here, is that you probably are better off with a setting of 00 on the reduction margin.

1	Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 3, ENTER. The LCD shows the current setting for sorting
	copy:
		Sorting Copy:	On
		Program/Enter
	If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 3.
	Otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2	To change the setting, press PROGRAM once or twice until your chosen setting
	appears. In this example, we’ve chosen Off.
		Sorting Copy:	Off
		Program/Enter
3
	Press ENTER to save the setting. The LCD shows the current copy reduction rate:
		Copy Reduc Rate:100%
		Program/Enter
	If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 5.
	Otherwise, proceed to step 4.
4	To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen reduction
	setting appears. In this example, we’ve chosen 75%.
