Normal resolution — Shown as “norm”; 203H × 98V lpi. The default resolution mode for all Muratec fax machines.
Original document size — The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed safely through a fax machine.
Paper sizes — All are width × length: |
|
| |||
A5 = 5.8″ × 8.3″ | A4 | = | 8.3″ × 11.7″ | A3 = | 11.7″ × 16.5″ |
B5 = 7.2″ × 10.1″ | B4 | = 10.1″ × 17.0″ | B3 = | 14.3″ × 20.3″ |
Passcode — A
PBX (or PABX) — Private branch exchange;
Polling — Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a docu- ment from a remote fax set for this operation. Polling is convenient whenever a central unit must receive information from one or several remote faxes. The caller bears all telephone charges and prevents several remote units from calling at the same time. See also Secure polling.
Private line — (Or leased line.) A service offered by many telephone systems; pro- vides an exclusive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a private line. See also PSTN.
Proprietary —
PSTN — Public switched telephone network; the most common type of telephone lines and service in use, in contrast to private or leased lines. A Muratec fax pro- vides fast, reliable data transmission over a PSTN line, and does not need a special or dedicated telephone line. See also Private line.
Receiver ID — See Station ID.
Redialing — The dialing again, either manually or automatically controlled, of the most recently dialed fax or phone number. Automatic redialing follows an unsuc- cessful dialing attempt and can be done manually or automatically.
Just in case …
Relay broadcasting — Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in internal memory, transmit the document to the memory of a remote “hub” fax and then instruct that unit to relay
Remote fax machine — The machine on the other “end” of a fax communication.
REN — See Ringer equivalence number.
Resolution — The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machines is measured by the number of horizontal (H) and vertical (V) lines per inch (lpi) the unit can print. A Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:
Normal | 203H × 98V lpi |
Fine | 203H × 196V lpi |
Superfine | 203H × 392V lpi |
Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accu- rate reproduction of photographs and other shaded originals.
Ringer equivalence number — Also called REN. A number assigned to telecom- munications equipment used in the United States; designed to prevent overloading on a telephone circuit. See also Load number.
Scanning width — See Effective scanning width.
SecureMail — Allows a Muratec fax user to send a document to or or receive one into (usually something confidential) an “electronic mail box.” The transmission is protected at the receiving Muratec fax by an access code; the receiving fax prints the document only when an authorized user enters the code.
Secure polling — Polling in which preset passcodes are checked between two machines before polling is allowed to take place.
Station ID — (Also called Location ID or Receiver ID.) An autodialer feature which lets the fax user enter a descriptive name to correspond with the number in an autodialer entry. For example, rather than entering only
Subscriber ID — A fax machine’s telephone number, as identified by a user set- ting. See TTI.
