If you choose On, the machine automatically 
reduces each page of an incoming fax to fit on 
one page of Letter, Legal or A4 size paper. 
The machine calculates the reduction ratio by 
using the page size of the fax and your Paper 
Size setting. (See Paper Size and Type 
(MFC-5890CN only) on page 26 or Paper 
Size and Type (MFC-6490CW only) 
on page 27.)
