Recording

Effective record area

Printing is not possible on the approximately 0.12 inch around the edge of the paper. For this reason, the received contents are reduced in size or cut off during printing. The printable area is called the effective record area.

Reference

The blank margin around the paper can be changed. (see page 4-37)

Effective record area

Reduction margin

The reduction margin is the value that determines whether to cut off an edge or reduce the contents to fit on one sheet when the received document will not fit in the effective record area. When a document that is longer than the loaded paper is received, only the blank margin might be printed on the next page, which can be prevented by setting the “reduction margin”. When the document length exceeds the effective record area but is within the reduction margin, reduction or cut off is performed to fit the contents onto one sheet, but when the document is longer than the reduction margin, the page is divided onto other sheets.

Reference

The reduction margin has the range of 0.0 to 3.3 inches, so set it to match the margin length of the most frequently received documents. For details of the reduction margin setting, refer to “Other settings list” on page 3-196.

(1)When a reduction margin is set
