TAM always answers the call first and then the TAM plays 
the OGM (Outgoing Message) recorded in your TAM to 
the calling station. During the time the TAM is answering 
the call, your fax machine will be monitoring the line to 
distinguish whether it is a voice or fax call.

Your machine will switch the line to the fax and then begin 
to receive the documents immediately from the calling 
station.
If it is a Voice call,

							Receiving Documents
72
This machine can use Letter, Legal or A4 size plain paper for recording.   Sometimes, oversized documents 
sent to you by other parties cannot be printed on a single page.  When this occurs, the document will be 
divided into separate pages.
This machine is equipped with a Print Reduction function to solve this problem.  You can select the most 
appropriate setting from the selections described below.
1.Automatic Reduction
Each page of a received document is first stored in the memory.  Based on the document length, your 
machine will automatically calculate the suitable reduction ratio (72% to 100%) to print the entire 
document on a single page.  If the received document is extremely long (Over 39% longer than the 
recording paper), the document will be divided into separate pages and printed without reduction.
2.Fixed Reduction
You can pre-determine the reduction ratio from 72% to 100% in 1% steps. The document(s) you receive 
will be reduced to the fixed ratio regardless of size.
Selecting the Print Reduction Mode
Set Fax Parameters as shown below.  PRINT REDUCTION
1. To set Automatic Reduction mode.
1) No. 24 Print Reduction set to “Auto”.
2. To set Fixed Reduction mode.
1) No. 24 Print Reduction set to “Fixed”.
2) No. 25 Reduction Ratio set to any number between 72% and 100%. (See Note 1)
Ex:A4 to A4 - 96%
A4 to Letter - 90%
Letter to Letter - 96%
Legal to Letter - 75%
NOTE1. If the sending side is set to print the header on the outside of the copy area, a larger reduction 
ratio will be required.

Basic 
Operations
If the received document is extremely long (over 39% longer than the recording paper), the document will be 
divided into separate pages.  When printing on separate pages, the bottom 10 mm (0.4”) of the first page will 
be overlapped on the top of the next page.
NOTE1. If the reduction method is set to the Automatic Reduction mode, the document is printed out 
with no reduction when printing out separate pages. If the reduction method is set to the Fixed 
Reduction mode, the document is printed out by the ratio you set in Fax Parameter No. 25.

If the recording paper runs out or jams or if the toner runs out during reception, the machine automatically 
starts receiving documents in its image data memory.  Stored documents are printed automatically after 
replacing the recording paper or the toner cartridge. (See Note 1 and 2)
NOTE1. If the memory overflows, the machine will stop receiving and release the communication line.
The document(s) stored in the memory up to that moment will be printed out.
2. If you wish to turn off the substitute reception function, change the setting of Fax Parameter
No. 22 (SUBSTITUTE RCV) to INVALID.  (See page 39)

Operations
Making Copies 
Your machine has a copy function for single or multiple copies.
NOTE1. The copy will be reduced automatically depending on the length of the original document. If 
you wish to be prompted for the reduction ratio when making copies, change the setting of Fax 
Parameter No. 32 (COPY REDUCTION) to MANUAL.   (See page 39)
If Copy Reduction is set to Manual, press   and  to set the zoom ratio in 1% steps. (100% 
to 72%)
2. If you made a copy with Super Fine resolution, it will be reduced slightly even if the reduction 
ratio is set to 100% in order to fit the data on one page.
3. You can change the Contrast and Resolution without Standard Resolution in Copy Mode.

Polling
Polling means calling other station(s) to retrieve a document.  The other station must know in advance that 
you will call and must have a document set on the ADF or stored in the memory.  You may need to set a 
polling password shared by the other station to ensure security.
If the polling password does not match with the polled station, your polling request will be refused 
automatically.
NOTE1. Polling might not function with all fax machines.  We suggest you attempt a trial polling before 
you actually poll important documents.
2. If a password is not set in the polled station, you may poll the other station even though your 
machine has a password.

Features
In order to let other stations poll your machine, you must prepare your machine with a document stored in 
memory.  Be sure to set the polling password before storing the document into memory.  After being polled,  
the documents stored in the memory will be delete automatically.  To retain the documents in memory so 
that they can be polled repeatedly change Fax Parameter No. 27 (POLLED FILE SAVE) to VALID. 
(See page 39)
NOTE1. You can still send or receive documents even when the unit is set for polling.
2. Only 1 polled file can be stored in the memory. If you need to add document(s) into the same 
polled file. (See page 91)
3. If you have set the polling password in Fax Parameter No. 26, the password will appear on the 
display.  
You can still change the password temporarily by overwriting it with a new one. 
(See page 39)
