Canon FAX-B155 134

Glossary

Document

The sheet of paper containing the data that you send to or receive from a fax.

dpi

Dots per inch. A unit of measurement for indicating a printer’s resolution.

E

ECM

Error Correction Mode. The ability of your fax to reduce system and line errors when sending or receiving from another fax with ECM capability. ECM is most effective in areas where the telephone lines are in poor condition or there is frequent interference on the line. Do not use ECM if you need to send a document quickly and you are sure the other party can read your transmission without it (turning off ECM also turns off MMR).

Extension

A telephone connected to the fax.

F

Fax Only Mode

This option allows you to use your fax only to receive faxes automatically. If you have a dedicated fax line, you may want to set this mode.

Fax/Tel Mode

This option allows you to set the fax to automatically detect whether a call is from a fax or telephone. If the call is from another fax, the transmission is automatically received. If the call is from a telephone, the fax rings to let you know, so you can pick up the handset. With this feature, one telephone line can be shared by both the telephone and the fax.

FINE

The setting for documents with very small characters and lines.

G

G3, Group 3 fax machine

Defined by CCITT. Uses encoding schemes to transmit image data while reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, thus reducing transmission time. G3 fax machines can transmit one page in less than one minute. Encoding schemes for G3 fax machines are Modified Huffman (MH), Modified Read (MR), and Modified Modified Read (MMR).

H

Hook

The button that engages and disengages the telephone line.

I

Ink cartridge

The special type of ink cartridge used with Canon Bubble Jet fax machines. The ink cartridge for the fax includes the print head and ink. Use the BX-3 cartridge only.

J

Jack

The telephone receptacles on your wall or in your fax used to connect the fax to the telephone line, answering machine and extension phone.

M

Manual Dialling

Pressing the individual numeric buttons to dial a fax number. Also called regular dialling.

Manual Mode

A setting that allows you to answer all incoming telephone and fax calls. If you hear a slow beep it indicates an incoming fax transmission from another machine. Just press [Start/Copy] to receive the incoming fax.
