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 (81/2 × 51/2) loaded and you receive an A5 (81/2 × 51/2) size document, the document is printed on A4 (81/2 × 11). If your machine does not have A4 (81/2 × 11) loaded and you receive an A4 (81/2 × 11) size document, the document is printed on two sheets of A5 (81/2 × 51/2).
This function is available only if the following settings are made:
Reduction in Sub-scan Direction: Enabled
Page Separation Threshold: 20 mm (0.8 inches)
Width or Length Priority: Width
The document is split over two sheets of paper depending on the paper size.
Paper placed in the bypass tray is not usually selected for printing a received document. However, you can use this tray if you select the bypass tray as the main paper tray using Reception with Specified Senders.
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.
Setting priority trays
With the same size of paper loaded into multiple trays, you can make the machine use one tray for one function and another tray for another function.
For example, you may load white A4 paper into Tray 1 to use when making copies, and yellow A4 paper into Tray 2 to use when printing received faxes. You can then easily identify for which purpose paper has been output. You can perform this setting in [Paper Tray Priority: Fax] in [Tray/Paper Settings].
When a different size of document from the priority tray is received, the tray containing the same size of paper as the received document is used.
Just size printing
If you enable this function, received documents are printed on the sheet that has the highest priority.
This function is enabled with User Parameter (switch 05, bit 5) in the Fax Settings menu.
If the paper tray is not stocked with paper of a suitable size to print a received document, a message “No paper.” appears on the display prompting you to load paper of the required size. When you have loaded new paper, press [Exit] to print the document.
After pressing [Exit], procedure varies depending on machine status when the message occurred.
If any received documents or reports were being printed automatically, the machine automatically continues printing from where it left off.
If any documents or reports were being printed manually, the machine does not resume printing. Perform the operation from the beginning again.
Printing incoming documents from special senders on paper from the bypass tray
You can print documents sent from Specified Senders on paper from the bypass tray.
You can perform this setting in [Register Special Sender] in the Fax Settings menu.
Specifying the Action to Perform When Receiving a Fax from Different Senders
You can use a size of paper not loaded in the paper tray(s) in the bypass tray.
For details about the bypass tray's paper capacity, automatically detectable paper size, and the custom size paper that can be loaded, see Recommended Paper Sizes and Types.
When you load the paper of undetectable size, specify the paper size. However, if the size of the paper on the bypass tray does not match the specified paper size, a message will appear on the display prompting you to load paper of the specified size. When you have loaded the paper, press [Exit] to print the document.
Documents printed on paper smaller than A4 (81/2 × 11) may be shortened, or split across sheets.
Paper that is larger in size than the maximum may be creased, not sent, or jam.
Print area depends on the machine's configuration, resolution, and vertical length of originals.
If you use this function, Image Rotation and 180-degree rotating printing are not possible.
