If incoming faxes show that information in the left and right margins has been cut
off, make sure this Auto Reduction feature is turned on.
■
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.
■
When you set
AUTO REDUCTION
to
ON
, even if the document size is the
same as the recording paper or smaller than it, the data will be slightly reduced.
