Setting Paper Type
You can choose the Paper Type you use.

GLOSSY or TRNSPRNCY (TRANSPARENCY), and then press Menu/Set.
3If you selected GLOSSY, press   to select GLOSSY:4-COLOR or 
GLOSSY:3-COLOR, and then press 
Menu/Set.
4Press Stop/Exit.
Setting Paper Size
You can use three sizes of paper for printing your faxes and copies — letter, 
legal and A4. When you change the kind of paper you have loaded in the MFC, 
you will need to change the setting for Paper Size so your MFC can fit the 
incoming fax on the page. 
1Press Menu/Set, 1, 2. 
2Press  to select LETTER, LEGAL 
or A4, and then press Menu/Set.
3Press Stop/Exit.
NoteThe print quality of black ink varies depending on the kind of glossy paper you 
are using. Black ink is used when you select GLOSSY:4-COLOR. If the 
glossy paper you are using repels the black ink, select GLOSSY:3-COLOR, 
which simulates black ink by combining the three ink colors.
NoteThe MFC ejects paper with printed surfaces face up onto the paper tray in the 
front of the MFC. When you use transparencies, remove each sheet 
immediately to prevent a paper jam or curled.

Entering Text
When you are setting certain functions, such as the Station ID, you may need to

character, press

(External telephone/ 
External Telephone 
Answering Device)If an external telephone is 
connected to the EXT. jack, 
you control the phone line 
and must answer every call 
yourself. 
If an external TAD 
(telephone answering 
device) is connected to the 
EXT. jack, the TAD 
automatically answers 
every call. Voice messages 
are stored in the external 
TAD. Fax messages are 
printed.Use this mode if you

seconds the LCD returns to the date and time display, along with your new

Setting Ring Delay
The Ring Delay setting determines the number of times the MFC rings before it 
answers.  If you have extension phones on the same line as the MFC or subscribe 
to the telephone company’s Distinctive Ring service, keep the Ring Delay default 
setting of 4. You can try setting the Ring Delay to 5 rings; however, if you do not 
receive all your faxes, you must reset it to 4 rings. 
(See 
Easy Receive, page 5-3 and Operation from Extension Telephone, page 5-4.)

Easy Receive
When you use this feature, you don’t have to press Black Fax Start when you 
answer a fax call. Selecting ON allows the MFC to receive fax calls 
automatically, even if you lift the handset of an extension or external phone. 
When you see RECEIVING on the LCD or when you hear “chirps” through the 
handset of an extension phone connected to another wall jack, just replace the 
handset, and your MFC does the rest. Selecting OFF means you’ll have to 
activate the MFC yourself, by lifting the handset of an external or extension 
phone, and then pressing Black Fax Start on the MFC—OR—by pressing 
 5 1 if you are not at your MFC. (See 
Operation from Extension Telephone, page 
5-4.)
1Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 2.
2Use   to select ON (or OFF), 
and then press Menu/Set.
3Press Stop/Exit.
Printing a Reduced Incoming Fax 
(Auto Reduction)
You can always reduce the size of an incoming fax to a fixed percentage, 
regardless of the size of the paper in your MFC.  ON lets your MFC choose the 
level of reduction for you.
1Press Menu/Set, 2, 1, 4. 
2Use  to select ON (or OFF), 
and then press Menu/Set.
3Press Stop/Exit.
NoteIf this feature is set to ON, but your MFC doesn’t automatically connect a fax 
call when you lift a phone handset, press the Fax Receive code   5 1.
NoteIf you send faxes from a computer on the same phone line and the MFC 
intercepts them, set Easy Receive to OFF.
NoteIf incoming faxes show that information in the left and right margins has been 
cut off, make sure this Auto Reduction feature is turned on.
