ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) The document can be placed
in the ADF and scanned one page at a time automatically.
Auto Reduction Reduces the size of incoming faxes.
Automatic fax transmission Sending a fax without picking up the
handset of an external phone.
Automatic Redial A feature that enables your MFC to redial the last
fax number if the fax did not go through because the line was
busy.
Batch Transmission As a cost savings feature, all delayed faxes to
the same fax number will be sent as one transmission.
Beeper The sound the keys make when they are pressed, an error
occurs, or a fax has been received or sent.
Beeper volume Volume setting for the beep when you press a key
or make an error.
Broadcasting The ability to send the same fax message to more
than one location.
CNG tones The special tones (beeps) sent by fax machines during
automatic transmission to tell the receiving machine that they are
from a fax machine.
Coding Method Method of coding the information contained in the
document. All fax machines must use a minimum standard of
Modified Huffman (MH). Your MFC is capable of greater
compression methods, Modified Read (MR), Modified Modified
Read (MMR) and JBIG, if the receiving machine has the same
capability.
Communication error (or Comm. Error) An error during fax
sending or receiving, usually caused by line noise or static.

with another. Compatibility is assured between ITU-T Groups.
