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

Half-page reception

Half-page reception is especially handy for saving paper if some of the
faxes you receive are half-page, "memo-sized" messages. When activated,
this feature tells the machine to combine two of these half-page
receptions onto a single sheet. Half-page reception combines separate
half-page messages if sent back-to-back during the same transmission. If
you have half-page reception turned on, your fax won't hold a standalone
half-page reception in memory until a second half-page message follows.

Making the printing settings

1. If the machine is in Fax mode, proceed to step 2.
If it is in Copy mode, press COPY/FAX to change to Fax mode.
2. Press PROGRAM, J, 0, 2, ENTER. The display shows the currently
set print reduction rate.
Prnt Reduc Rate: Auto
If the setting you see is acceptable, skip to step 4.
Otherwise, proceed to step 3.
3. To change the setting, press PROGRAM repeatedly until your chosen
reduction setting appears. In this example, we've chosen 91%.
Prnt Reduc Rate: 91%
