Using Code to enter characters

Beyond the basics

Certain settings give you a chance to enter some kind of identifying name. You can do this with the one-touch keys, but you may also use the CODE key in combination with other keys to produce a wide variety of characters, as well as regular letters and numbers. Here’s how to do it:

1. When the machine prompts you to enter a name, press CODE. The display will change to:

Your Name :Code

2. Consult the chart below and find the character you wish to enter.

The legends just outside the box indicate which key you press, and in which order, to get a given character. For example, to get a backslash (\) character, you’d press C, 8. (The blank areas for 2, 0 and C, 0 indicate where spaces occur.)

3. To enter each character, press the indicated keys.

Important: Remember that you also can enter numbers through the numeric keypad and letters and other non-numeric characters through the one-touch keys in combination with the ALPHABET key.

Note: If you make a mistake, press CANCEL to erase leftward. Or, if you

want to change just one character in the name, press to move the

cursor leftward, or to move it rightward, to that character and press CANCEL to erase it. Then re-enter until the name is just as you want it.

4. Press ENTER to save the name.

Making settings for printing faxes

You can set three parameters for printing received fax messages:

•Print reduction rate

•Reduction margin

•Half-page reception

You set all three in the same operation (see next page), but each deserves its own brief explanation.

Print reduction rate

Print reduction lets you set the machine to reduce a large incoming document to a size which will fit on your paper. This setting doesn’t affect copies you may make with your machine. Fortunately, however, it also has copy reduction (see “Setting of enlargement and reduction for copying” on page 1.34).

Here are the options for print reduction settings:

	Setting	What it does
		Automatically reduces printouts at variable rates down to a
	Auto	minimum of 50%. Tries to reduce printout to fit on one sheet of
	Auto	your selected paper size; if can’t, prints the image at 100% size on two or

		more pages.

	100%	Performs no reduction. (Due to the sender’s TTI, this may print two pages
	100%	when receiving a one-page fax document. See “97%” [ below].)


		Reduces an original so that the final printout of a one-page document (if
	97%	the original isn’t larger than the paper in your machine) will be only one
		page long, despite the TTI.

	91%	Provides slightly more reduction.

	81%	Provides even greater reduction. Helpful for certain international
	81%	stationery sizes, as well as special applications.
		stationery sizes, as well as special applications.

	75%	Turns legal-sized originals into letter-sized printed copies.

But, of course, be sensible…

While handy, the reduction feature can’t solve every situation. (Also, the printout may omit a small bit of the image at the page break if the machine tries to reduce a legal- sized page onto letter-sized paper at any setting other than 75%.) So, whenever possible, load the correct size of paper before receiving a fax (or making a copy) of that size.
