Muratec F-98 operating instructions

Just in case …

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,the user can enter that number and a name, such as Dallas Branch Office. (Many Muratec models 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.

Superfine resolution — 203H × 392V lpi. Your Muratec fax machine’s superfine transmission mode is Group-3-compatible, not the more limited proprietary version.

TAD — Telephone answering device, or answering machine. Records incoming voice messages for playback. You can connect a TAD to a Muratec fax machine and use the two on one phone line.

TCR — Transmit confirmation report; this provides proof that your Muratec fax did send the document you set for transmission. Printed after transmission, the TCR also identifies the telephone number to which the fax sent the document, plus the actual time of transmission and how many pages the unit transmitted.

Thermal (paper) printing — A thermal head heats chemically treated, thermally sensitive paper in patterns conforming to the image the machine has scanned, cre- ating a printed image. Thermal paper’s tendency to discolor and fade, in addition to its curliness and the usual difficulty in writing on it, have made this method consid- erably less popular than plain-paper fax printing — particularly as plain-paper fax machines have dropped sharply in price.

TTI — Transmit terminal identifier. A user-programmable line of information sent automatically with every page a fax machine sends; it appears at the top of each page printed by the receiving unit.

Transmission speed — How fast a fax machine is sending a fax document. This speed depends on the modem speed of each unit, the resolution setting, the content of the document, the encoding technique and the condition of the phone line (clean, noisy, etc.) Any change in any one of these five conditions will affect the speed, sometimes significantly.

White-line skip — A technique used to speed up fax transmission by bypassing redundant areas, such as white space.
