Paper on which the received fax can be printed
Paper on which the received fax is printed is only as follows: If any following paper is not set, out-
of-paper reception will be performed.
Letter, Letter , Legal
Effective record area
Printing is not possible on the approximately 0.12 in. (3 mm) around the edge of the paper. For
this reason, the received contents may be 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. (page 2-56)
Reduction margin
The reduction margin is the value that determines whether to cut off an edge or reduce the contents
to fi t on one sheet when the received document will not fi t 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 fi t the contents onto one
sheet, but when the document is longer than the reduction margin, the page is divided onto other sheets.
Reference
Set the reduction margin between 0 to 3.3 in. (85mm) depending on the blank margin of the frequently received documents.
For more details on how to set the reduction margin, refer to "Other Settings" (page 3-239).
(1) When the reduction margin is set
If the length exceeds the effective record area but is within the reduction margin, the contents are reduced
or cut off to fi t onto one sheet.
Document
(2) When the reduction margin is not set (when the reduction margin = 0)
If the length exceeds the effective record area even by a little, the second sheet will be printed.
If exceeding the effective
record area, the second sheet
will be printed.
