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 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, this feature tells the machine to combine two of these half-page receptions onto a single sheet. Half-page reception combines separate half-page messages sent back-to-back during the 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.

Making the printing settings

1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.

If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.

2. Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 2, ENTER. The display shows the currently set print reduction rate:

Prnt Reduc Rate:Auto

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.

Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

3. 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

4. Press ENTER to save the setting. The display shows the current settings for the reduction margin:

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

Margin(0-85mm): 24

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 6.

Otherwise, proceed to step 5.

Note: This reduction margin setting will affect ADF (not FBS) copying.

5. To change setting, use the numeric keypad to enter the reduction margin you want. If necessary, press PROGRAM to move the cursor. In this example, we’ve chosen 35mm.

Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%

Margin(0-85mm): 35

6. Press ENTER to save the setting. The display now shows the machine’s current setting regarding half-page reception:

Half Page Recpt: Off

Program/Enter

If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 8.

Otherwise, proceed to step 7.

7. To change the setting, press

In this example, we’ve chosen On.
