Specifying the Printing Method of the Received Fax Document

There are two types of functions that allow you to print documents received by fax more efficiently while maintaining legibility: those functions that are applied automatically and those that you can specify manually.

Print Functions Performed Automatically

The machine performs one of the following functions to print the received document in the most suitable size and orientation:

Rotating the image when printing (Image Rotation)

When receiving a fax that matches the size of the paper loaded in the paper tray but differs in the its orientation, the machine rotates the image 90 degrees clockwise automatically and prints it.

  • When a paper tray is specified in [Paper Tray] under [Fax Settings], the machine prints the received fax on the paper fed from the specified tray.

  • Image Rotation will not be performed on documents in B5 size.

Selecting paper according to the size of the received document

The machine selects the paper tray loaded with the paper of same size as the received document and prints it automatically.

  • 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.

Note

  • You can specify the order to select paper trays when paper of the same size is loaded in more than one tray in [Tray/Paper Settings][Paper Tray Priority][Paper Tray Priority: Fax].

Printing a page across multiple sheets of paper or reducing it to fit on a single sheet

When a document that is larger in width than the paper loaded in any of the trays is received, the machine divides the received page and prints it across multiple sheets of paper or reduces and prints it to fit on a single sheet.

  • When the difference in the widths of the paper and received page is greater than 20 mm (0.8 inches)

    The page is divided and printed across multiple sheets. Registration marks (*) are printed in the position where the page was divided, and an area approximately 10 mm (0.4 inches) around the dividing line is printed repeatedly on both sheets.

  • When the difference in the widths of the paper and received page is smaller than 20 mm

    The page is reduced to fit on a single sheet of paper.

Note

  • You can change the settings below. Contact your service representative. The settings enclosed in parentheses are the factory defaults.

    • Reduced print (On)

    • Printing separation marks (On)

    • Overlapping print (On)

    • Overlapping width: select from 4, 10 or 15 mm (10 mm)

    • Recommended size for series print: specify in steps of 5 mm between 5 to 155 mm (when the original length is 20 mm longer than the paper size)

Print Functions Performed Automatically According to the Preconfigured Settings

By specifying the method to print received documents in advance, you can print received documents in a variety of ways.

Printing a multi-page document on both sides of the output paper

When receiving a multi-page document comprising pages of the same size, the machine prints the document on both sides of the paper if paper of the same size is loaded in the machine.

For details about the setting, see Printing on Both Sides of Paper When Receiving a Document Comprising Multiple Pages.

The pages are printed for binding on the left edge and the images on the front and back sides of the paper are printed as follows:

Orientation of the received document

Duplex printing result

Images are printed in the same orientation on the front and back sides of the paper.

Images are printed in reverse orientation on the front and back sides of the paper.

Combining and printing a multi-page document of A5Portrait size onto a single page

When receiving two or more pages of the same size (A4Portrait) subsequently, the machine combines and prints every two pages onto a single sheet of paper as shown below when the paper of the same size and orientation is not loaded in the tray.

  • A document of A5Portraitsize: Reduced and combined side by side on A4Landscape paper

For details about the setting, see Combining and Printing Pages on One Side of Paper When Receiving a Document Comprising Multiple Pages.

Printing multiple copies for a document

The machine prints the specified number of a received document. If you specify the number of copies you need in advance, you do not have to make copies later.

For details about the setting, see Printing More than One Copy for a Received Document.

Printing only on paper of the same size as the received document

The machine prints the received document only when paper of the same size as the document is available in any of the trays (Just size printing). "Add paper." is displayed when paper of the optimal size is not loaded in any of the source trays. Load the appropriate size paper into the source tray.

For details about the setting, see Printing Only When Paper of the Same Size as the Received Document Is Available.

Printing on paper loaded on the bypass tray

Under normal operation, the machine does not print the received document on paper fed from the bypass tray, but you can configure the machine to print documents received only from a special sender on the paper loaded on the bypass tray.

For details about the setting, see Specifying the Action to Perform When Receiving a Fax from Different Senders.

  • On the bypass tray, you can load paper that cannot be loaded in any of the paper source trays.
