Receiving Faxes

setting that matches the size of paper you’ve loaded (see page 21). If the incoming

fax pages are larger than the paper size you loaded, the fax size is reduced to fit or

printed on multiple pages, depending on the

Auto Reduction

setting you select.

If you run out of paper during printing, you see the error message
