Muratec MFX-2530 Operating Instructions Manual page 195

Redialing — The dialing again, either manually or automatically controlled, of the most
recently dialed fax or phone number. Automatic redialing follows an unsuccessful dialing
attempt.
Relay broadcasting — Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in internal mem-
ory, transmits 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.
— See Ringer equivalence number.

Resolution — The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machines is mea-
sured by the number of horizontal ( ) and vertical (
H
Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:
Normal 203 98 lpi
H V
Fine 203 196 lpi
H V
Superfine 203 392 lpi
H V
Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accurate repro-
duction of photographs and other shaded originals.
Ringer equivalence number — Also called
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 receive one into (usually
something confidential) an "electronic mail box." The transmission is protected at the receiv-
ing 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 dialing 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.

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 standard allowing fax machines to specify special delivery
characteristics of a transmission. For example, subaddressing allows fax machines from dif-
ferent manufacturers to send and receive messages into confidential memory mailboxes, or to
retrieve specific files from polling memory.

high-speed v.34 bis modems for 33.6 Kbps transmission and high-speed protocols for rapid
handshaking.

Thermal (paper) printing — A thermal head heats chemically treated, thermally sensitive
paper in patterns conforming to the image the machine has scanned, creating a printed
image. Thermal paper's tendency to discolor and fade, in addition to its curliness and the
usual difficulty in writing on it, have made this method considerably less popular than plain-
paper fax printing — particularly as plain-paper fax machines have dropped sharply in price.
TriAccess — Muratec's TriAccess allows a Muratec fax machine to perform three or more
tasks simultaneously without slowing.
— Transmit terminal identifier. A user-programmable line of information sent automati-

cally with every page a fax machine sends; it appears at the top of each page printed by the

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 docu-
ment, the encoding technique and the condition of the phone line (clean, noisy, etc.) Any
change in any one of these five conditions will affect the speed, sometimes significantly.
.29 and v.27 ter — A standard set of communication procedures allowing fax machines to
V
talk to other units using those standards. Specifically, these standards cover fax transmission
at 9600 bps or slower.
.34 — An international standard for fax modems — and other modems — with transmission
V
speeds of up to 28.8 Kbps. The .34 protocol is sometimes referred to as "
V
represented a significant increase in possible transmission speed compared to the transmis-
sion protocol it replaced.
.34 bis — A faster version of the
V
" .34 +". The .34 bis protocol allows transmission at up to 33.6 Kbps, and represents the cur-
V V
rent maximum standard transmission speed possible under ITU-T Group 3. (The term "bis" is
French, and designates the "second" version of the protocol.)
White-line skip — A technique used to speed up fax transmission by bypassing redundant
areas, such as white space.
