CCITT Group 3 data
compression
method.
Used
in
some
Muratec fax machines.
MSE,SMSE
Proprietary data compression methods
,
allowing
transmissions faster
than
MH,
MR, and
MMR whenever
you are communicating with a Muratec-manufactured
unit. MSE
and
SMSE
are features
on many
Muratec fax
machines.
Modem
Originally
an abbreviation
for
modulator-demodulator,
but now
a common
word
in fax and
computer
use.
A
modem is a digital device that
converts
digital data
(like
the
information from
your fax
machine) into
an analog signal for transmis-
sion over analog
lines
(like your ordinary telephone
line).
A modem
is included
in
your fax
machine
and
allows it to be
connected directly to your PSTN
telephone
line.

PBX
Private branch exchange. Often called
PBX,
PABX and others. Privately
owned telephone equipment serving a
particular building, business
or
area.
Many PBX systems·
use
digital
transmission lines
which,
unlike
more common
PSTN
lines
, are
not
compatible with fax machine
use.
Do
not
connect
yo
ur
Muratec
unit
to a PBX without first checking with the system manufacturer or
service representative.
Mura tee
Mura tee
PPS
Pulses per second. Used to identify rotary dialing requirements.
PSTN
Public switched telephone network. PSTNs are the most common type of
telephone lines and service
in
use, and are in contrast to
private
or leased lines.
Muratec
units
provide fast, reliable data transmission over PSTN
lines.
You do
not need a special line or a dedicated telephone line for your Muratec
unit.
Polling
Polling allows some fax users to set a document in their fax machine for auto-
matic transmission to a remote
unit
when that
unit
calls, or to call a remote unit
and receive a document set to be polled. Polling is convenient whenever a
central unit must receive information from one or several remote units. By poll-
ing the remote
units,
the central facility bears all telephone charges and prevents
several
remote units from calling
at
the
same
time.
Private Line
Also called a
leased line. A
service
offered by many telephone systems that
provides
an
exclusive phone
circuit
between
two geographic
points.
Your
Muratec
unit does not require
a
private line.
Pulse (Rotary), Tone Dialing
Most
telephone
systems
in the
United
States offer pulse
(rotary)
and touch-tone
dialing options. Muratec units
are
compatible with both rotary and tone dialing
signal
requirements. Check
your
operating instructions for information
on
set-
ting
your
unit
for
pulse or touch-tone dialing.
Check with your
telephone
company
if
you
have pulse dialing
service.
Resolution
The
resolution
of
documents transmitted or
copied
by fax machines is
measured by
the number of
horizontal
(H) and vertical
(V)
lines per inch the
unit can print.
Your
unit also offers grayscale transmissions
for accurate
reproduction
of
photographs.
RJ-11
A standard plug-in
telephone jack. The
RJ
-11
is
commonly
used in North
America for
telephone line
connections, but call your
telephone company
if you
are unsure of the
type
of
jacks in
your
home or
office.
SMSE
See MSE, SMSE.
Secure Mail
A feature on
many
Muratec fax
machines.
SecureMail allows you
to
send a
document
to a memory "mailbox"
in
a Muratec
unit
with internal
memory.
The
transmission is protected
by an
access code created
by the
mailbox
holder.
