Just in case Common questions We re here to help you! The Muratec Information System is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can use your fax machine to call this fax-on-demand system and receive printouts of information, such as the most common questions asked about your machine. Often, this is the fastest way to find out the answer to any question you may have.
Just in case Q: Can I transmit a document that s extra long? A: Yes, if the receiving fax machine is equipped to handle long documents. Many machines have a special setting which allows them to receive documents that exceed the normal length. Q: Can I transmit a page from a newspaper? A: No. A newspaper page can jam in your document feeder. First, use a copy machine to make an appropriately sized copy of the newspaper page, then transmit the copy.
Just in case Receiving faxes Polling Q: My fax never answers. What s wrong? A: Check to make sure your fax machine is properly connected to a working AC power outlet and phone jack (see page 1.7). If you re using a second phone with your machine, make sure it s connected properly (page 2.20). Q: What s the purpose of polling? A: Polling lets you automatically pull a document which is set in another fax machine.
Just in case Glossary This glossary contains terms you may encounter when discussing or reading about fax machines. Please use these definitions for reference only. A list of definitions can also be found on the Muratec website at www.muratec.com. 24-hour format Also called military format. A format for keeping time that does not use a.m. or p.m. to distinguish between morning and afternoon. In the 24-hour format, one o clock in the morning marks 1:00, noon marks 12:00 and midnight marks 24:00.
Just in case Default The setting your machine will always refer to if no other action has been programmed. For example, you can set the default for this machine to send a fax by using its memory. If you set this action as the default, that s how your machine will always send a fax, until you tell it to do differently. Delayed command Transmission or polling operation set by the user to occur later, automatically, at a predetermined time.
Just in case Memory Internal document storage. In Muratec fax machines, random access memory in the form of computer chips is used to store and hold documents for transmission and to hold some documents that have been received. Memory overflow A message that appears on the machine s LCD when the current operation requires more of the machine s electronic memory than what is available. MH Modified Huffman, the standard ITU-T Group 3 data compression method.
