ITU-T Test Document 1. Also called the Slerexe (“Slehr- rehks”) letter; sometimes erroneously called ITU-T Test Chart

1.An ITU-T standard document with a known black density which fax makers often use in testing, and subsequently publicizing, the transmission speeds of their fax machines.

ITU-T V.29 and V.27 ter. A standard set of communication procedures allowing fax machines to talk to all other units adhering to those standards.

LCD. Liquid crystal display. Used on your fax machine to display information.

Leased line. See Private line.

Load number. A number assigned to telecommunications equipment used in Canada; designed to help prevent overloading on a telephone circuit. See also Ringer equivalence number.

Location ID. See Station ID.

lpi. Lines per inch. The way fax image resolution is measured. (For example, see Normal resolution.)

Mailbox. A password protected (secure) area of memory setup by a user for sending and receiving confidential faxes. Also referred to as confidential mailbox and personal mailbox.

MH. Modified Huffman, the standard ITU-T Group 3 data compression method. A one-dimensional coding scheme that compresses data in a horizontal direction only. A feature of your fax machine, MH assures transmissions faster than one page per minute when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of manufacturer. See also 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 (analog) telephone lines. A modem is included in a fax machine and allows it to be connected directly to a PSTN telephone line.

Monitor. A speaker in your fax machine that allows you 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, one must use the handset. See also On-hook dialing.

MSE, SMSE. Proprietary data compression methods, which allow your fax machine to transmit more quickly when communicating with another fax machine. See also MH.
