mode for all Muratec fax machines.
One-touch dialing — Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for
dialing with the touch of one key. See also Autodialing and Speed-dialing.
On-hook dialing — Dialing numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without
lifting a handset. On most Muratec fax models, the user can do this either silently
or by using the monitor. See also Monitor.
Original document size — The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed
safely through a fax machine.
Paper sizes — All are width length:
Letter-sized = 8.5

B4 = 10.1
Passcode — A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection pass-
code lets the user limit access to fax operations, as well as certain settings and even
documents readied for polling (in the case of polling, only calling machines whose
users enter the proper passcode will be able to poll the document.)

Polling — Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a docu-
ment from a remote fax set for this operation. Polling is convenient whenever a
central unit must receive information from one or several remote faxes. The caller
bears all telephone charges and prevents several remote units from calling at the
same time. See also Secure polling.
Private line — (Or leased line.) A service offered by many telephone systems; pro-
vides an exclusive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does
not require a private line. See also

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 communica-
tion 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.
— See Ringer equivalence number.

Resolution — The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machines
is measured by the number of horizontal (
unit can print. A Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:
Normal
Fine
Superfine
Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accu-
rate reproduction of photographs and other shaded originals.
Ringer equivalence number — Also called
munications equipment used in the United States; designed to prevent overloading
on a telephone circuit. See also Load number.
Scanning width — See Effective scanning width.
SecureMail — Allows a Muratec fax user to send a document to or 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 prints
the document only when an authorized user enters the code.
Secure polling — Polling in which preset passcodes are checked between two
machines before polling is allowed to take place.
Speed-dialing — Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dial-
ing with the touch of three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a
three-digit code — for each number. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing.
Station
— (Also called Location
ID
lets 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.)
