Bi-directional printing

The ability of the MultiPASS 1000 to print both left to right and right to left. This printing method provides a fast speed. See also Unidirectional printing.

bps

Bits per second. Refers to the speed with which a fax machine sends and receives data.

Broadcasting

Transmitting documents to more than one location (through the MultiPASS 1000’s memory).

Bubble Jet printing

An ink-jet type printing method that heats the ink to a boiling point to form a bubble. When the bubble expands, there is no room left in the nozzle for the ink and the ink is projected onto the paper.

C

CCITT #1 Chart

A test chart, defined by CCITT, used to check the transmission speed as well as the transmitting and receiving memory capacity of a fax machine.

CCITT/ITU-TS

Formally known as CCITT, Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone. CCITT has been replaced by the International Telecommunications Union – Telecommunications Sector (ITU-TS), a committee created to set international standards for telecommunications.

Centronics

An interface standard for parallel data transmission. The interface on the MultiPASS 1000 is a Centronics-type parallel interface.

CNG

Calling Tone. This is a signal sent by fax machines to identify the call as an incoming document. When the receiving fax detects this signal, it automatically starts to receive the fax transmission. The majority of fax machines in use today can send and detect CNG signals.

Coded speed dialing

An automatic dialing method that allows you to dial a fax or telephone number by pressing three buttons—the CODED DIAL/DIRECTORY button and a two-digit code using the numeric keypad. You can register up to 80 coded speed dialing numbers in the MultiPASS 1000.
