0 Communication after the 
Journal data storage area has 
become full 
0: Impossible 
1: Possible 0: When this switch is on and the journal history 
becomes full, the next report prints. If the journal 
history is not deleted, the next transmission 
cannot be received. This prevents overwriting 
communication records before the machine can 
print them. 
1: If the buffer memory of the communication 
records for the Journal is full, fax communications 
are still possible. But the machine will overwrite 
the oldest communication records. 
Note: This setting is effective only when Automatic 
Journal printout is enabled but the machine 
cannot print the report (e.g., no paper).

reserved for future use or not used.) 
0 A4 
1 B4 
2 A3 0: Off (not selected), 1: On (selected)

							Bit Switches 
B786 58  SM 
3-6 Reserved 
7 Not used is “A3” (Bit 2). 
When mail is sent, there is no negotiation with the 
receiving machine at the destination, so the 
sending machine cannot make a selection for the 
receiving capabilities (original width setting) of the 
receiving machine. The original width selected 
with this switch is used as the RX machine’s 
original width setting, and the original is reduced 
to this size before sending. The default is A4. 
If the width selected with this switch is higher than 
the receiving machine can accept, the machine 
detects this and this causes an error.

Original Line Resolution of TX 
Attachment File These settings set the maximum resolution of the 
original that the destination can receive. 
0 200x100 Standard 
1 200x200 Detail 
2 200x400 Fine

4  400 x 400 Super Fine 
5  600 x 600 Reserve 
6 Reserve 0: Not selected 
1: Selected 
If more than one of these three bits is set to “1”, 
the higher resolution has priority. For example, if 
both Bit 0 and Bit 2 are set to “1” then the 
resolution is set for Bit 2 200 x 400. 
mm/inch 
7 This setting selects mm/inch conversion for mail transmission. 
0: Off (No conversion), 1: On (Conversion) 
When on (set to “1”), the machine converts millimeters to inches for sending mail. 
There is no switch for converting inches to millimeters.  
Unlike G3 fax transmissions which can negotiate between sender and receiver to 
determine the setting, mail cannot negotiate between terminals; the mm/inch 
selection is determined by the sender fax. 
When this switch is Off (0): 
Images scanned in inches are sent in inches. 
Images scanned in mm are sent in mm. 
Images received in inches are transmitted in inches. 
Images received in mm are transmitted in mm. 
When this switch is On (1): 
Images scanned in inches are sent in inches. 
Images scanned in mm are converted to inches. 
Images received in inches are transmitted in inches. 
Images received in mm are converted to inches.

RX Text Mail Header Processing 
0 This setting determines whether the header information is printed with text e-mails 
when they are received. 
0: Prints only text mail. 
1: Prints mail header information attached to text mail. 
When a text mail is received with this switch On (1), the “From” address and 
“Subject” address are printed as header information. 
When a mail with only binary data is received (a TIFF-F file, for example), this 
setting is ignored and no header is printed. 
Output from Attached Document at E-mail TX Error 
1 This setting determines whether only the first page or all pages of an e-mail 
attachment are printed at the sending station when a transmission error occurs. 
This allows the customer to see which documents have not reached their intended 
destinations if sent to the wrong e-mail addresses, for example. 
0: Prints 1st page only. 
1: Prints all pages. 
Text String for Return Receipt 
This setting determines the text string output for the Return Receipt that confirms 
the transmission was received normally at the destination. 
2-3 00: “Dispatched” 
Sends from PC mail a request for a Return Receipt. Receives the Return Receipt 
with “dispatched” in the 2nd part: 
Disposition: Automatic-action/MDN-send automatically; dispatched 
The “dispatched” string is included in the Subject string. 
01: “Displayed” 
Sends from PC mail a request for a Return Receipt. Receives the Return Receipt 
with “displayed” in the 2nd part: 
Disposition: Automatic-action/MDN-send automatically; displayed 
The “displayed” string is included in the Subject string. 
10: Reserved 
11 :  R e s e r v e d  
A mail requesting a Return Receipt sent from an IFAX with this switch set to “00” 
(for “dispatched”) received by Microsoft Outlook 2000 may cause an error. If any 
setting other than “displayed” (01) causes a problem, change the setting to “01” to 
enable normal sending of the Return Receipt. 
Media accept feature  
4 This setting adds or does not add the media accept feature to the answer mail to 
confirm a reception. 
0: Does not add the media accept feature to the answer mail 
1: Adds the media accept feature to the answer mail. 
Use this bit switch if a problem occurs when the machine receives an answer mail, 
which contains the media accept feature field.

Subject for Delivery TX/Memory Transfer 
0 This setting determines whether the RTI/CSI registered on this machine or the 
RTI/CSI of the originator is used in the subject lines of transferred documents. 
0: Puts the RTI/CSI of the originator in the Subject line. If this is used, either the 
RTI or CSI is used. Only one of these can be received for use in the subject line. 
1: Puts the RTI/CSI registered on this machine in the Subject line. 
When this switch is used to transfer and deliver mail to a PC, the information in the 
Subject line that indicates where the transmission originated can be used to 
determine automatically the destination folder for each e-mail. 
1 Subject corresponding to mail post database 
0: Standard subject 
1: Mail post database subject 
The standard subject is replaced by the mail post database subject in the following 
three cases: 
1) When the service technician sets the service (software) switch. 
2) When memory sending, delivery specified by F code or SMTP reception is 
done. 
3) With relay broadcasting (1st stage without the Schmidt 4 function). 
 
ƒ  This switch does not apply for condition 3) when the RX system is set up 
for   memory sending, delivery by F-code, sending with SMTP RX and 
when operators are using FOL (to prevent problems when receiving
