RX REDUCTION When receiving a document as long or longer than the paper

installed in your machine, the machine can reduce the size of the
document to fit the paper size in the XK50cx. Use this feature if you
want to automatically reduce an incoming page. If the XK50cx
cannot reduce the document to fit onto one page, the document is
divided and printed in actual size on two or more pages. With
VERTICAL ONLY RX reduction enabled, the XK50cx reduces an
incoming document along the vertical axis only.

and date and time of reception at the bottom of each page of a
received document.

CONT POLL REPORT You can configure your WorkCentre XK50cx to automatically poll

and retrieve faxes from unattended fax machines. When enabled, a
