If There Is No Paper of the Correct Size

If there is no paper in the machine that matches the size of a received document, the machine will choose a paper size based on the paper available.

If you have not set the same size paper in the paper tray, incoming fax documents are printed on the nearest size available.

For example, if your machine does not have A5 loaded and you receive an A5 size document, the document is printed on A4. If your machine does not have A4 loaded and you receive an A4 size document, the document is printed on two sheets of A5.

The document is split over two sheets of paper depending on the paper size. See "Page Separation and Length Reduction".
Paper placed in the bypass tray is not usually selected for printing a received document.
Widths that this machine can receive are A4 and 8¹/₂ × 11. Any documents narrower than A4 or 8¹/₂ × 11 are received at A4 or 8¹/₂ × 11 width. The length of documents depends on the document.
The paper size used to print a received document may be different from the size of the sent original.
