Receiving a Fax 29
BASIC FAX USE
Fax Detect (with an External or Extension Telephone)
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Fax Start or 5 1 when you answer a fax call
with an external or extension telephone and hear calling beeps. Just hold the handset of an external
or extension telephone and wait for several seconds. When you see RECEIVING on the fax screen
or when you hear “chirps” through the handset of an extension phone connected to another wall
socket, just replace the handset, and the machine does the rest. Selecting ON allows the machine to
receive fax calls automatically, even if you lift the handset of an external or extension phone.
Selecting OFF means you will have to activate the machine yourself, by pressing Fax Start or
5 1 at the external or extension telephone. (You have to set Remote Activation to ON in
Menu/Set, 2, 1, 4 to use 5 1.) (See Operation from an External or Extension Telephone, page
43.)
In case Fax Detect does not work, because of a poor phone line connection, just press the Activation
Code 5 1.
1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 4.
2 Use or to select ON or OFF and press Menu/Set.
3 Press Stop/Exit.

Printing a Reduced Incoming Document (Auto Reduction)
If you choose ON, the machine reduces an incoming document automatically, so that it fits on one
page of A4 recording paper, regardless of the size of the original document.
1 Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 6. The screen displays
2 Use or to select ON (or OFF).
3 Press Menu/Set when the screen displays your selection.
4 Press Stop/Exit.
If you receive faxes that are split on two pages, change this setting to 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 use Auto Reduction and you receive an incoming document that is
smaller than your recording paper, no reduction will take place, and you will get
the same size recorded as the original.
