Appendix & index

Memory — Internal document storage. In Muratec 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.

MH — Modified Huffman, the standard ITU-TGroup 3 data compression method. A one-dimen- sional coding scheme that compresses data in a horizontal direction only. A feature of all Muratec fax machines, MH assures transmissions faster than one page per minute when com- municating with other Group 3 units, regardless of

manufacturer. See also MR, MMR, MSE, SMSE.

Modem — Modulator-demodulator. A device that converts digital data, like information from a fax machine, into an analog signal for transmission over ordinary telephone lines. A modem is included in a fax machine and allows it to be connected directly to a PSTN telephone line.

MR — Modified Read, an ITU-TGroup 3 standard data compression method. A two-dimen- sional coding scheme that compresses data in both horizontal and vertical directions and allows for faster transmission when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of manufacturer. See also MH, MMR, MSE, SMSE.

MMR — Modified Modified Read, an ITU-TGroup 3 standard data compression method. A two- dimensional coding scheme that compresses data in both horizontal and vertical directions and allows for faster transmission when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of manufacturer. See also MH, MR, MSE, SMSE.

Monitor — A speaker in most Muratec fax machines which allows the user to hear the dial- ing process. This is not a speakerphone, because it has no microphone for speaking to the person being called. For regular two-way voice communication, users must use the optional handset. See also On-hook dialing.

MSE, SMSE — Muratec’s proprietary data compression methods, allowing a Muratec-manufac- tured fax machine to transmit more quickly when communicating with another Muratec-manufactured unit. MSE and SMSE are features on many Muratec fax machines. See also MH, MR, MMR.

Normal resolution — Shown as “norm”; 203H ⋅ 98V lpi. The default resolution mode for all Muratec fax machines.

One-touch dialing — Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialing with the touch of one key. See also Autodialing and Speed-dialing.

On-hook dialing — Dialing numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without lifting a handset. On most Muratec fax models, the user can do this either silently or by using the monitor. See also Monitor.

Original document size — The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed safely through a fax machine.

Override — To change existing settings.

Paper sizes — All are width ⋅ length:
Letter-sized = 8.5″ ⋅ 11.0″ (216 ⋅ 279 mm)						Legal-sized = 8.5″ ⋅ 14.0″ (216 ⋅ 356 mm)
A5	=	5.8″ ⋅	8.3″	(148 ⋅	210 mm)	B5	= 7.2″ ⋅	10.1″	(182 ⋅	257 mm)
A4	=	8.3″ ⋅	11.7″	(210 ⋅	297 mm)	B4	= 10.1″ ⋅	14.3″	(257 ⋅	364 mm)
A3	= 11.7″ ⋅		16.5″	(297 ⋅	420 mm)

Passcode — A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection passcode lets the user limit access to fax operations, as well as certain settings and even documents readied for polling (in the case of polling, only calling machines whose users enter the proper passcode will be able to poll the document.)

PBX (or PABX) — Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment serving a particular building, business or area. Many PBX systems use digital transmission lines which, unlike more common PSTN lines, are not compatible with fax machine use. The user should not connect a fax unit to a PBX without first checking with the system manufacturer or ser- vice representative.

PCL — Page Control Language. An industry standard for printer control. Some Muratec fax machines include or offer PCL-compatible printing for Windows-based personal computers.

Platen — A traditional copier-style top to a fax machine or digital copier. Some Muratec fax machines and multifunctional products include a platen top, allowing you to fax from books and other awkward sources.

Polling — Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a document 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 pre- vents 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; provides an exclusive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a pri- vate line. See also PSTN.

Proprietary — Non-standard. In fax, refers to a feature which works only in communica- tions between fax machines that are the same brand.

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 provides fast, reliable data transmission over a PSTN line, and does not need a special or dedicated telephone line. See also Private line.

QuadAccess® — Muratec’s QuadAccess allows your Muratec fax machine to perform four or more tasks simultaneously without slowing.

RCR — Receive confirmation report. An RCR is your assurance that the document you trans- mitted was received. The RCR prints after your transmission, identifying the receiving unit and recording the date, time, transmission mode, number of pages sent and the result. The RCR is an exclusive feature of Muratec fax machines and is available only when transmitting to other, compatible Muratec fax machines. See also TCR.

Receiver ID — See Station ID.
