Automatic dialling
Dialling fax or telephone numbers by pressing
one or three buttons. To use automatic
dialling, you must register the numbers in the
FAX-L250’s memory. See also One-touch speed
dialling, Coded speed dialling, and Group
dialling.
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
The device included in the FAX-L250 that
feeds the document being faxed, copied, or
scanned into the FAX-L250.
Automatic image reduction
The FAX-L250 can print the date, time,
company name, and a fax number at the top of
the faxes it receives. To prevent this
information from crowding the faxed image on
the page and possibly lengthening the fax, the
FAX-L250 automatically reduces the size of
the image on the page.
Automatic redialling
When the receiving fax machine is busy or
does not answer, or when an error occurs while
sending, the FAX-L250 waits a specified time
and then automatically redials the number. If
the receiving fax is still busy or does not
answer, the FAX-L250 waits the specified time
and dials again. If the fax still doesn’t go
through, the FAX-L250 prints an activity
report.

CNG
Calling Tone. This is a signal sent by fax
machines to identify the call as an incoming
document. When the receiving fax detects this
signal, it automatically starts to receive the fax
transmission. The majority of fax machines in
use today can send and detect CNG signals.
