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 40mm will
print most incoming faxes as single pages. Try this combination first and
then, only if you have problems with it, select different settings.

Making settings for copying
You can set three parameters for copying:
• Copy sort/stack — Your fax machine can either sort or stack multiple copies of a
document. If it stacks them, it will make four copies of a two-page document as:
1, 1, 1, 1 — 2, 2, 2, 2. If it sorts them, it will make four copies of the same two-
page documents as: 1, 2 — 1, 2 — 1, 2 — 1, 2.
(If the sorting copy is "Off", the fax machine will stack.)
• Copy reduction rate — Works the same way as the print reduction rate (see page
2.3 for more details).
• Reduction margin — Serves the same purpose as the reduction margin for print-
ing (see earlier information on this page).
You set both in the same operation, as with the printing settings.
Note: The same options, in terms of both reduction settings and reduction mar-
gins, are available for copy reduction as for print reduction. (If necessary,
review the preceding discussion, "Making settings for printing faxes," begin-
ning on page 2.3.) The difference, here, is that you probably are better off
with a setting of 00 on the reduction margin.
