Glossary

A
Activity Report
A journal of the machine's transactions, both sent and received.
Address Book
The Address Book is a feature used for storing fax recipients. The Address
Book is divided into one-touch speed dialing keys and coded speed dialing
codes. You can register multiple recipients in a group and assign a one-touch
speed dialing key to this group. Registering a destination in the Address
Book saves you the effort of entering that fax number each time you send a
fax.
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
The device included in the machine that feeds the document being sent or
copied, or scanned into the machine.
Automatic redialing
When the recipient's machine is busy or does not answer, or when an
error occurs while sending, the machine waits a specified time and then
automatically redials the number. If the receiving fax is still busy or does not
answer, the machine waits the specified time and dials again.
B
bps
Bits per second. Refers to the speed with which a fax machine sends and
receives data.
Broadcasting
Transmitting documents to more than one location (through the machine's
memory).
Buffer size
The size of a data area, or buffer, shared by devices or programs working at
different speeds or with different priorities. The buffer is designed to prevent
one device or process from being held up by another. For this to be possible,
the buffer must be set up correctly.
C
CNG
Calling Tone. This is a signal sent by fax machines to identify the call as
an incoming document. When the receiving fax detects this signal, it
automatically starts to receive the fax transmission. The majority of fax
machines in use today can send and detect CNG signals.
Coded Speed Dialing Codes
A method to specify a recipient registered in Address Book. Press [Coded
Dial] and a two-digit code using the numeric keys.
Cookie

allows the web site to recognize the user on subsequent visits. Cookies are
generally used to enable a user to automatically sign on to certain web sites
and to customize the features offered by such sites.
Cursor
The underline symbol you see on the LCD when you register numbers and
names in the machine.
D
