Pause time
When registering long-distance numbers, you sometimes have to insert a pause
either within or after the number. The destination of the pause and pause time
depend on the system. Pauses entered within a number are 2 seconds long, and a
pause at the end of a number is 10 seconds. A pause is inserted in a number or at
the end of a number by pressing the PAUSE button. The PAUSE button is
factory preset to enter a 2 second pause within a number, although this may
differ according to your location. Pauses entered after a number are always fixed
at 10 seconds. If you adjust the pause time, this only changes the length of the
pauses inserted within numbers and does not affect pauses entered at the end of
numbers.
PBX
Stands for private branch exchange. A PBX controls the flow of telephone traffic
through the institution itself, including automatic call back and dialling and
paging systems. See switchboard.
Polling transmission
Polling means one facsimile unit requests another to send a document. This is
useful when the sending party, the party with the original document, is not in the
office, but the document must be sent out. The receiving party dials the fax
holding the original and requests that it be sent. In other words, the receiver
always polls the sender. Before using the polling feature, you have to set up
polling boxes.
Printable area
The area of the document that can actually be reproduced and printed on the
recording paper by the receiving fax. The printing area is smaller than the paper.
Pulse
See rotary pulse.
R
Reduction mode
The fax unit's automatic feature that slightly reduces the received image to allow
room at the top of the page for the sender's ID information. You can also reduce
the size of large incoming documents using the RX REDUCTION option.
Registering
A process by which you place fax or telephone numbers and names in the fax
unit's memory for automatic dialling so that you can save time dialling frequently
called destinations.
Regular dialling
Dialling a number with the numeric buttons. Use regular dialling to dial a
number that is not registered for any of the automatic dialling methods. Press
HOOK then use the numeric buttons to dial the number you want to call.
