Fax Detect (with an External or Extension Telephone)
When you use this feature, you don't have to press Mono Fax Start or
fax call with an external or extension telephone and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset of an
external or extension telephone and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the
fax screen or when you hear "chirps" through the handset of an extension phone connected to
another wall socket, just replace the handset, and the machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the
machine to receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an external or extension
phone. Selecting OFF means you will have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing
Mono Fax Start or
Activation to ON in Menu/Set, 2, 1, 5 to use

If incoming faxes show that information in the left and right margins has been cut

I When you use Auto Reduction to reduce incoming documents to fit on one page
of recording paper, you can do so only as long as the original document is not
longer than 35 cm. If the original is longer than 35 cm, the data will not be
reduced and will carry over to print on a second page.

same as the recording paper or smaller than it, the data will be slightly reduced.
