6-6 Glossary
A family of multitasking operating systems developed by IBM for Intel x86-based
computers. OS/2 provides a graphic user interface similar to Windows as well as a
command line interface similar to DOS. Add-ons to OS/2 enable it to run DOS and
Windows applications.
You can insert a pause in a telephone number when you register it for One-Touch
Speed Dialing or Coded Speed Dialing, or when you are dialing manually. A pause is
sometimes required to connect to an outside line, or for overseas fax transmission to
certain countries.
The default settings are two seconds if a pause is inserted within the number (may
vary depending on your location), and 10 seconds if added to the end of the number.
Only the length of pauses inside the numbers, and not those at the end, can be
changed.
Private Branch Exchange. An in-house telephone switching system that interconnects
telephone extensions to each other, as well as to the external telephone network. A
PBX controls the flow of telephone traffic through instruments such as paging
systems and automatic callback and dialing.
Portable Document Format. A file format run by Adobe Systems' Acrobat software
which is restricted neither by device nor resolution. PDF displays documents in a way
that is independent of the original application software, hardware, and operating
system used to create those documents. A PDF document can contain any
combination of text, graphics, and images.
Personal Identification Number. To prevent unauthorized access to telephone
lines,some PBX (Private Branch Exchange) systems require that a PIN code be
entered when dialing to make a call or to send a document. Depending on the PBX
system,the PIN code may be entered before the number as a prefix, or after the
number as a suffix. If your PBX needs a PIN code to connect to an outside line, you
can specify the user data settings of the machine so that it prompts you every time
that you dial.
