Just in case …

Default — The setting your machine will always refer to if no other action has been pro- grammed. For example, you can set the default for this machine to send a fax by using its memory. If you set this action as the default, that’s how your machine will always send a fax, until you tell it to do differently.

Delayed command — Transmission or polling operation set by the user to occur later, auto- matically, at a predetermined time. Great for reducing costs by making fax calls during times when telephone costs are lowest, such as late at night or on weekends.

Digital — Using the binary system (which uses a combination of 0s or 1s) to describe every- thing, so that 0 means off and 1 means on; digital fax machines convert the graphic image of your document into a series of zeros and ones by using the binary system of transmission to encode black and white occurrences. This increases transmission speed by passing over white spaces. See also White-line skip.

Digital fax — Unlike analog systems that scan every portion of a document, digital fax machines survey a document’s overall picture content. Digital fax machines scan a line and convert the information into a binary code of zeros and ones. The fax machine takes this information and compresses it, providing high transmission speeds.

Document feeder — The adjustable slot into which users place documents for faxing or copying.

Effective printing width — The widest image that can be printed on a fax.

Effective scan width — The maximum width the scanner in a fax can scan during trans- mission.

F-Code— A fax-industry standard created by the ITU-Tfor sub-addressing/password-based communications. Because F-Code is an industry standard, your fax machines as well as all ITU-Tequipped fax machines from other manufacturers can communicate with each other using sub-addressing.

Facsimile (or fax) — A form of communication involving the scanning and decoding of a docu- ment into electrical signals and transmitting of the document, over telephone lines to another device. This device then reconstructs the signals to produce an exact duplicate of the document. Also, a machine that performs such communication.

Fallback — Group 3 fax machines operate at the highest transmission speed possible on a given telephone line. Our systems offer automatic fallback; if line quality drops during trans- mission, the fax machine will reduce speed to the fastest possible level.

File number — A number the machine gives to each document it stores for a batch, F-Code or polling operation.

Fine resolution — 203H ⋅ 196V lpi. Also shown as G3F (“Group 3 fine”) on some fax units.

Grayscale — Not a level of resolution, but a method of scanning and transmitting halftone images. Fax machines with grayscale abilities interpret photographs in

levels of gray between white and black. The transmitting fax machine must have grayscale ability to send a photographic image accurately, but the receiving machine does not need it to print the image.

Group 3 — Refers to fax machines that use digital encoding. These units transmit one page in less than one minute and produce resolution of 203 ⋅ 98, 203 ⋅ 196, or 406 ⋅ 392 lpi.

Halftone — See Grayscale.

Handshaking — An exchange of data between telecommunications and/or

computer equipment that “introduces” two systems to each other. For example, faxes use a handshaking protocol to identify the ITU-Tgroup of each unit and to begin fax communication.

Hub — See Relay broadcasting.

Hz (or Hertz) — A measure of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Used in the specifica- tions for a fax machine, it identifies the AC power the unit requires.

ITU-T— International Telecommunications Union – Telecommunications Sector. (Formerly known as CCITT, for Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone.) A telecommunications forum for member countries of the United Nations whose Study Group XIV established the primary groups for fax equipment, covering communication protocol and transmission. Our Group 3 fax machines offer the fastest transmissions allowed by the ITU-Twhen communicating with other Group 3 units.

ITU-TTest Document 1 — Also called the Slerexe (“slehr-rehks”) letter; An ITU-Tstandard document with a known black density which fax makers often use to test transmission speeds of their fax machines. Published transmission speeds are also based on this document.

ITU-T V.29 and V.27 ter. — A standard set of communication procedures allowing fax machines to talk to all other units adhering to those standards.

JBIG — Joint Bi-level Image experts Group, the new ITU-Tstandard image data compression method. As JBIG compresses the data more efficiently than MMR, it is especially effective when transmitting halftone (grayscale) image document.

(Of course, the compression ratio may vary with the image data.)

Laser printing — A plain-paper printing system. Toner is attached to a charged drum and an image is transferred onto plain paper through electrical currents, then fused with heat and pressure to produce a dry, permanent printout.

LCD — Liquid crystal display.

Leased line — See Private line.

Load number — A number assigned to telecommunications equipment used in Canada; designed to help prevent overloading on a telephone circuit. See also Ringer equivalence num- ber.

Location ID — See Station ID.

lpi — Lines per inch. The way fax image resolution is measured. (For example, see Normal resolution.)

Memory — Internal document storage. In your fax machines, random access memory in the form of computer chips is used to store and hold documents for transmission and to hold some documents that have been received.

Memory overflow — A message that appears on the machine’s LCD when the

current operation requires more of the machine’s electronic memory than what is available.
