0: Disabled 1: Enabled 0: In immediate transmission, data scanned in 
inch format are transmitted without conversion. 
In memory transmission, data stored in the SAF 
memory in mm format are transmitted without 
conversion. 
Note: When storing the scanned data into SAF 
memory, the fax unit always converts the data into 
mm format. 
1: The machine converts the scanned data or 
stored data in the SAF memory to the format 
which was specified in the set-up protocol 
(DIS/NSF) before transmission.
