Automatic image reduction
The unit can print the date, time, name or company name, and a fax/telephone number

image on the page and possibly lengthening the fax, the unit automatically reduces the
size of the image to fit on the page.

automatically redials the number. You define the number of times the unit redials and
the length of time between redialings.
