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.
REN See Ringer equivalence number.
Resolution The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machines is measured
by the number of horizont al (
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 203
H × 98 V lpi
Fine 203
H
× 196
V lpi
Superfine 203
H × 392 V lpi
Some Muratec units also of fer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accurate reproduc -
tion of photographs and other shaded originals.
Ringer equivalence number Also called
REN .A number assigned to telecommunications
equipment used in the United States; designed to prevent overloading on a telephone circuit. See
also L o a d 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 print s the document only when an authorized
user enters the code.
Secure polling Polling in which preset p asscodes are checked between two machines before
polling is allowed to t ake place.
S peed-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 let s 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 st andard 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 st andards, allowing the use of high-
speed v.34 bis modems for 33.6 Kbps transmission and high-speed protocols for rapid
handshaking.
Superfine resolution 203
H × 392 V
lpi. Your Muratec fax machine s superfine transmission
mode is Group-3-compatible, not the more limited propriet ary version.
TA D Telephone answering device, or answering machine. Records incoming voice messages
for playback. Y ou can connect a
TA D to a Muratec fax machine and use the two on one phone line.
TCR T ransmit confirmation report; this provides proof that your Muratec fax did send the docu -
ment you set for transmission. Printed af ter transmission, the
TCR 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 heat s chemically treated, thermally sensitive p aper
in p atterns conforming to the image the machine has scanned, creating a printed image. Thermal
paper s tendency to discolor and fade, in addition to it s curliness and the usual dif ficulty in writing
on it, have made this method considerably less popular than plain-p aper fax printing p articu -
larly as plain-p aper fax machines have dropped sharply in price.
TriAccess Muratec s T riAccess allows a Muratec fax machine to perform three or more t asks
simult aneously without slowing.
TTI T ransmit terminal identifier . A user-programmable line of information sent automatically with
every p age a fax machine sends; it appears at the top of each p age 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 af fect the speed, sometimes significantly.
V
.29 and v.27 ter A st andard set of communication procedures allowing fax machines to t alk to
other unit s using those st andards. Specifically , these st andards cover fax transmission at 9600
bp s or slower.
V
.34 An international st andard for fax modems and other modems with transmission
speeds of up to 36.6 Kbps. It represent s 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.
