Canon FAX-L800 manual Pbx

Pause time

When registering long-distance numbers, you sometimes have to insert a pause either within or after the number. The destination of the pause and pause time depend on the system. Pauses entered within a number are 2 seconds long, and a pause at the end of a number is 10 seconds. A pause is inserted in a number or at the end of a number by pressing the PAUSE button. The PAUSE button is factory preset to enter a 2 second pause within a number, although this may differ according to your location. Pauses entered after a number are always ®xed at 10 seconds. If you adjust the pause time, this only changes the length of the pauses inserted within numbers and does not affect pauses entered at the end of numbers.

PBX

Stands for private branch exchange. A PBX controls the ¯ow of telephone traf®c through the institution itself, including automatic call back and dialling and paging systems. See switchboard.

Polling transmission

Polling means one facsimile unit requests another to send a document. This is useful when the sending party, the party with the original document, is not in the of®ce, but the document must be sent out. The receiving party dials the fax holding the original and requests that it be sent. In other words, the receiver always polls the sender. Before using the polling feature, you have to set up polling boxes.

Printable area

Pulse

See rotary pulse.

Registering

A process by which you place fax or telephone numbers and names in the fax unit's memory for automatic dialling so that you can save time dialling frequently called destinations.
