Automatic redialing

If a call cannot be completed, for example if the recipient's

 

machine is busy, the recipient is automatically called again. If a

 

document queued in the memory to be sent contains multiple

 

pages, until the time for redialing has been reached, it is

 

advanced in the queue and sent.

 

 

Book document

A bound document such as a book or catalog.

 

 

F codes

F codes are mailbox functions, such as “SUB” (sub-addresses),

 

“SEP” (selective polling), “SID” and “PWD” (passwords),

 

regulated by the G3 standards of the ITU-T (International

 

Telecommunication Union). Mailbox transmission/reception and

 

relay initiation transmission are possible only with similar

 

machines compatible with F code transmission.

 

 

G3 communication

Communications in conformance with the G3 standard (an

 

international standard for facsimile communications); fax

 

communications via an analog line (general subscriber line).

 

 

Internet fax

Faxes can be transmitted via the Internet or an Intranet instead

 

of through telephone lines.

 

Instead of a fax number, the recipient’s e-mail address is

 

specified and the scanned image (TIFF format) can be sent as

 

an e-mail message to a computer or Internet fax. In addition, e-

 

mail messages from computers can be received as images.

 

 

General subscriber line

Analog telephone lines (public network)

 

 

JBIG coding method

New method of data compression/decompression, standardized

 

by the Joint Bi-level Image Expert Working Group, a

 

subcommittee of the International Telecommunications Union

 

(ITU-T). Effective for transferring large amounts of data or high-

 

resolution image data such as halftones.

 

 

Manual reception

Receiving a fax document after talking on the telephone.

 

 

Manual transmission

Sending a fax document after talking on the telephone.

 

 

Memory

Stores fax and copy image data. By installing expansion

 

memory, much more image data can be stored in the memory.

 

 

Memory reception

When paper runs out or a paper misfeed occurs while receiving

 

a fax, the data is automatically stored in the memory and printed

 

out later.

 

Even if the paper runs out during the night or when the user is

 

away, the fax document can still be received.

 

 

Network scanner

This is a function that allows scanned images to be sent to a

 

computer via a network. They can also be sent as e-mail

 

messages or uploaded to FTP servers.

 

 

On-hook dialing

Dials without the hand set picked up. Press the [On-hook dial]

 

key to use this function.
