GLOSSARY

ADF (Automatic Document Feeder):

A device which feeds the pages of a multipage 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 ’bits’ - binary digits - (an average page will produce about 200,000 of them), and then sends them out at a top speed of 9,600 to 14,400 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.
