| line is busy. Intervals from 1 to 15 minutes can be entered. |

| the machine will not redial. |

| transmission was successful, how many pages were sent, and more. |
| The available options are On, Off and |
| when a transmission is not successful. |

Auto Reduction | When receiving a document as long as or longer than the paper loaded |
| in the paper tray, the machine can reduce the size of the document to fit |
| the size of paper loaded in the machine. Select On if you want to |
| automatically reduce an incoming page. |
| With this feature set to Off, the machine cannot reduce the document |
| to fit onto one page, the document is divided and printed in actual size |
| on two or more pages. |
|
|
Discard Size | When receiving a document as long as longer than the paper installed in |
| your machine, you can set the machine to discard any excess at the |
| bottom of the page. If the received page is outside the margin you set, |
| it will print on two sheets of paper at the actual size. |
| When the document is within the margin and the Auto Reduction feature |
| is turned on, the machine reduces the document to fit it onto the |
| appropriate sized paper and discard does not occur. If the Auto |
| Reduction feature is turned off or fails, the data within the margin will |
| be discarded. Settings range from 0 to 30 mm. |
|
|
Receive Code | The Receive Code allows you to initiate fax reception from an extension |
| phone plugged into the EXT jack on the back of the machine. If you pick |
| up the extension phone and hear fax tones, enter the Receive Code. The |
| code is preset to 9 at the factory. Settings range from 0 to 9. See |
| page 2.8. |
|
|
DRPD Mode | You can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) |
| feature which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer |
| several different telephone numbers. In this menu, you can set the machine |
| to recognize the ring patterns to answer. See page 2.8 |
