Passcode — A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection pass- code lets the user limit access to fax operations in general, as well as certain settings and even documents readied for polling (in the latter case, only calling machines whose users enter the proper passcode will be able to poll the document.)

PBX (or PABX) — Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment serving a particular building, business or area. Many PBX systems use digital trans- mission lines which, unlike more common PSTN lines, are not compatible with fax machine use. The user should not connect a fax unit to a PBX without first checking with the system manufacturer or service representative.

Polling — Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a docu- ment from a remote fax set for this operation. Polling is convenient whenever a central unit must receive information from one or several remote faxes. The caller bears all telephone charges and prevents several remote units from calling at the same time. In database polling, a remote fax polls a document directly from the memory of a Muratec fax. (Regular polling requires the document to be physically in the polled fax’s feeder.) See also Secure polling.

Private line — (Or leased line.) A service offered by many telephone systems; pro- vides an exclusive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a private line. See also PSTN.

Proprietary — Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communications between same-branded fax machines.

PSTN — Public switched telephone network; the most common type of telephone lines and service in use, in contrast to private or leased lines. A Muratec fax pro- vides fast, reliable data transmission over a PSTN line, and does not need a special or dedicated telephone line. See also Private line.

RCR — Receive confirmation report. An RCR is your assurance that the document you transmitted was received. The RCR prints after your transmission, identifying the receiving unit and recording the date, time, transmission mode, number of pages sent and the result. The RCR is an exclusive feature of Muratec fax machines and is available only when transmitting to other, compatible Muratec fax machines. See also TCR.

Receiver ID — See Station ID.

Redialing — The dialing again, either manually or automatically controlled, of the most recently dialed fax or phone number. Automatic redialing follows an unsuc- cessful dialing attempt.

Just in case …

Relay broadcasting — Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in internal memory, transmit the document to the memory of a remote “hub” fax and then instruct that unit to relay (i. e., re-transmit) the document to each fax in a call group in the “hub” unit. This feature speeds extremely high-volume fax communica- tion and allows a single command to initiate document transmission to hundreds of preprogrammed fax locations; also saves phone charges for the originating machine. Your machine can either serve as a “hub” unit or initiate a relay broadcast.

Remote fax machine — The machine on the other “end” of a fax communication.

REN — See Ringer equivalence number.

Resolution — The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machines is measured by the number of horizontal (H) and vertical (V) lines per inch (lpi) the unit can print. A Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:

Normal	203H × 98V lpi
Fine	203H × 196V lpi
Superfine	203H × 392V lpi

Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accu- rate reproduction of photographs and other shaded originals.

Ringer equivalence number — Also called REN. A number assigned to telecom- munications equipment used in the United States; designed to prevent overloading on a telephone circuit. See also Load number.

Scanning width — See Effective scanning width.

SecureMail — Allows a Muratec fax user to send a document (usually something confidential) to, or receive one into, an “electronic mail box.” The transmission is protected at the receiving Muratec fax by an access code; the receiving fax prints the document only when an authorized user enters the code.

Secure polling — Polling in which preset passcodes are checked between two machines before polling is allowed to take place.

Speed-dialing— Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dial- ing with the touch of three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a two-digit code — for each number. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing.

Station ID — (Also called Location ID or Receiver ID.) An autodialer feature which lets the fax user enter a descriptive name to correspond with the number in an autodialer entry. For example, rather than entering only 1-972-555-3465,one can enter that number and a name, such as Dallas Branch Office. (Many Muratec mod- els with this feature allow entry of both upper-case and lower-case letters, for greater ease of reading.)

Subscriber ID — A fax machine’s telephone number, as identified by a user set- ting. See TTI.
