Auto Reduction When receiving a fax containing pages as long as
or longer than the paper loaded in the paper tray,
the printer can reduce the size of the original to fit
the size of the paper loaded in the printer. Turn on
this feature if you want to automatically reduce an
incoming page.
With this feature set to Off, the printer cannot
reduce the original to fit onto one page. The
original will be divided and printed in actual size
on two or more pages.
Discard Size When receiving a fax containing pages as long as
or longer than the paper in your printer, you can
set the printer to discard a specific length from the
end of the received fax. The printer will print the
received fax on one or more sheets of paper,
minus the data that would have been on the
specified discard segment.
When the received fax contains pages larger than
the paper in your printer, and Auto Reduction
has been turned on, the printer will reduce the fax
to fit on the existing paper, and nothing will be
discarded.

not accept faxes sent from remote stations whose
numbers are stored in the memory as junk fax
