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 24 mm 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 is especially handy for saving paper if some of the faxes you
receive are half-page, “memo-sized” messages. When activated, thi s feat ur e tell s the
machine to combine two of these half-page receptio ns ont o a sin gle sh eet. Hal f- page
reception combines separate half-page messages sent back-t o- back d uri ng t he same
transmission. If you have half-page reception turned on, your fax won’t hold a
standalone half-page reception in memory until a second half-page message follows.
