Canon MP 1000 Emulation, Expanded dialing, Extension, FAX/TEL switching, G3, Group 3 fax machine

DRPD

Distinctive Ringing Pattern Detector. Allows you to assign up to five different ring patterns to distinguish voice and fax calls using your telephone company’s special services.

E

ECM

Error Correction Mode. The ability of your MultiPASS 1000 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.).

Emulation

A technique where one device imitates (acts like) another device.

Expanded dialing

Ability to register and then dial a fax or telephone number up to 118-digits long by pressing just one or three buttons.

Extension

A telephone connected to the MultiPASS 1000 that is used in place of the handset. You can use the extension telephone to activate incoming reception of documents manually.

F

FAX/TEL switching

This option allows you to set the MultiPASS 1000 to automatically detect whether a call is from a fax or a 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)
