GLOSSARY

 

ADF (Automatic Document Feeder):

 

A device which feeds the pages of a multi-page document one at a time, in the

 

order that you arranged the pages in the stack.

 

Batch Numbering (Page Count):

 

This is a way of numbering pages that allows you to check whether you received

 

all pages, and if not, which ones are missing. For example, if you receive two

 

pages with P1/3 printed on one and P2/3 on the other, you have just received a

 

three-page document but page 3 didn’t make it.

 

BPS (Bits Per Second):

 

This is the data communication rate in G3 mode, your fax terminal digitizes

 

documents, transforming them into ’bit’-binary digits- (an average page will

 

produce about 200,000 of them), and then sends them out at a top speed of

 

2,400 to 9,600 bps, depending on the model.

 

Broadcasting:

 

In G3 fax communication terminology, broadcasting is the transmission of a

 

document to more than one address in sequence, not simultaneously.

Country Code:
