M H 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, M H assures transmissions faster than one page per minute when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of

manufacturer. See also M R,M M R,M S E,S M S E.

Military format See 24-hour format.

Modem Modulator-demodulator.A device that convertsdigital 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.

M R 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 M H,M M R,M S E,S M S E.

Monitor A speaker in most Muratec fax machines which allows the user to hear the dialing 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.

M S E,S M S E Muratec s proprietary data compression methods, allowing a Muratec-manufactured fax machine to transmit more quickly when communicating with another Muratec-manufactured unit. M S E and S M S E are features on many Muratec fax machines. See also M H,M R,M M R.

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.

							Just in case
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.)

P B X (or PA B X) Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment serving a partic- ular 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 service 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 infor- mation 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; provides an exclu- sive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a private line. See also PSTN.

Proprietary Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communications 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 transmis- sion over a PSTN line, and does not need a special or dedicated telephone line. See also Private line.

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

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 unsuccessful dialing attempt and can be done manually or automatically.
