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 (re- transmit) the document to each fax in a call group in the hub unit. This feature speeds extremely high-volume fax communication and allows a single command to initiate document transmission to hundreds of preprogrammed fax locations. It also saves phone charges for the originating machine. Your machine can initiate a relay broadcast.

Remote fax machine The machine on the other end of a fax communication. R E N 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 accurate reproduc- tion of photographs and other shaded originals.

Ringer equivalence number Also called R E N.A number assigned to telecommunications 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 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.
Speed-dialing	Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialing with the

touch of three keys an identifier key (either *or #) and then a three-digit code for each num- ber. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing.

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 1-972-555-3465, the user can enter that number and a name, such as Dallas Branch Office. (Many Muratec models with this feature allow entry of both upper-case and lower-case letters, for greater ease of reading.)

Subaddressing An ITU-T standard allowing fax machines to specify special delivery charac- teristics of a transmission. For example, subaddressing allows fax machines from different manufacturers to send and receive messages into confidential memory mailboxes, or to retrieve specific files from polling memory.

Subscriber ID A fax machine s telephone number, as identified by a user setting. See TTI.

Super Group 3 An extension of Group 3 fax technology standards, allowing the use of high- speed v.34 bis modems for 33.6 Kbps transmission and high-speed protocols for rapid handshaking.

Superfine resolution 203H ⋅ 392V lpi. Your Muratec fax machine s superfine transmission mode is Group-3-compatible, not the more limited proprietary version.

TA D Telephone answering device, or answering machine. Records incoming voice messages for playback. You can connect a TA D to a Muratec fax machine and use the two on one phone line.

T CR Transmit confirmation report; this provides proof that your Muratec fax did send the docu- ment you set for transmission. Printed after transmission, the TC R also identifies the telephone number to which the fax sent the document, plus the actual time of transmission and how many pages the unit transmitted.

Thermal (paper) printing A thermal head heats chemically treated, thermally sensitive paper inpatterns conforming to the image the machine has scanned, creating a printed image. Thermal paper s tendency to discolor and fade, in addition to its curliness and the usual difficultyinwriting on it, have made this method considerably less popular than plain-paper fax printing particu- larly as plain-paper fax machines have dropped sharply in price.

TriAccess Muratec s TriAccess allows a Muratec fax machine to perform three or more tasks simultaneously without slowing.

TTI Transmit terminal identifier.A user-programmable line of information sent automatically with every page a fax machine sends; it appears at the top of each page printed by the receiving unit.

Transmission speed How fast a fax machine is sending a fax document. This speed depends upon the modem speed of each unit, the resolution setting, the content of the document, the encoding technique and the condition of the phone line (clean, noisy,etc.) Any change in any one of these five conditions will affect the speed, sometimes significantly.

V.29 and v.27 ter A standard set of communication procedures allowing fax machines to talkto other units using those standards. Specifically, these standards cover fax transmission at 9600 bps or slower.

V.34 An international standard for fax modems and other modems with transmission speeds of up to 36.6 Kbps. It represents the current maximum standard transmission speed pos- sible under ITU-T Group 3.

White-line skip A technique used to speed up fax transmission by bypassing redundant areas, such as white space.
