faxed.

If the size (width) of the faxed document is greater than the receiving machine's paper size, the size will be automatically reduced.

A document can also be faxed without reducing its size. In this case, the left and right edges will not be transmitted.

AR-FX12 MACHINE OPERATION 7-3

This function prints the date, time, your programmed name, your

programmed fax number, and the transmitted page number at the top
center of each page that you fax. All pages that you fax include this

information.

The key operator program can be used to select whether the sender's
information is added outside the original data or inside the data. The

initial factory setting is outside the data.

None of the transmitted image is cut off; however, the transmitted data is

longer than the scanned data, and thus when both the sender and the

receiver use the same size of paper, the printed fax may either be
reduced or split up and printed on two pages.

The top edge of the scanned data will be cut off by the sender's

information; however, when both the sender and the receiver use the

same size of paper, the printed fax will neither be reduced nor split up
and printed on two pages.

When you use the automatic document feeder to send a multi-page

document and there are no previously stored jobs waiting or in progress
(and the line is not being used), the machine dials the destination after

the first page is scanned and begins transmitting scanned pages while

the remaining pages are being scanned. This transmission method is
called Quick On-line. The messages SCANNING ORIGINAL and

SENDING both appear until scanning of the final page is completed.

If the receiving party is busy, the transmission will switch to a memory
transmission.

•The machine is initially set (factory setting) to perform Quick On-line

transmission. If desired, you can turn off this function with the key

operator program.

•When a document is transmitted using the following methods, the job

will be stored in memory (Quick On-line transmission will not be

performed):

<1>Sending from the document glass 

<2>Broadcast transmission

<3>Timer transmission
<4>2 in 1

<5>Card shot

<6>Job build
<7>F-code transmission

<1> Date and time:

The date and time, and the font used to print 
the date and time, are set in the custom 
settings.

<2>Own name:

programmed with the key operator program.

<3>Own fax number:

programmed with the key operator program.

<4> Transmitted page
        number:

3-digit number appearing in the format, "page 
number/total pages" (only the page number 
appears if you use manual transmission or 
Quick On-Line transmission). If desired, you 
can use the key operator program to omit the 
page number.
