GLOSSARY
ADF (Automatic Document Feeder):
A device which feeds the pages of a multi-page 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.
ITU-T
This committee sets international standards for communication.
Communication:
Transmission or reception.
Copy:
When used as a noun, this refers to a printout, either in copy mode or receive mode
Country Code:
In international dialing, this is the code that directs the call to the country where the terminal that
you wish to send to is located.
CSI:
Called Subscriber Identification. page 189.
Default Setting:
See "Factory Setting".
Dial Pulses:
These are dialing signals that your terminal sends out if it uses pulse dialing ( page 192).
Document:
This is the original page or set of pages that you wish to send.
DPI (Dots Per Inch), or l/mm (Lines Per Millimeter):
This is the unit of resolution. The scanner scans your document according to the selected
resolution. An 8-1/2" x 11" page is broken down into about 1,728,000 dots if standard resolution is
used. (Digital compression techniques for G3 convert these into about 200,000 bits.)
ECM (Error Correction Mode): This is a signaling method that is designed to eliminate
transmission errors on even the noisiest of telephone lines. See page 68.
EFC:
This is a proprietary digital data compression technique. It shortens the time for sending a page.
Factory Setting:
The factory setting of a function is the state into which it was programmed at the factory; this will
also be the state of that function in a new machine. It can also referred to as "Default Setting".
File:
Memory File, Polling File.
Group 3:
This is an internationally-agreed signaling and data transfer method used for facsimile
communication (approved by ITU-T). It is also known as G3.
