Relay broadcasting Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in internal memory,
transmit 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 measured
by the number of horizonta l ( ) and vertical (

may offer one or more of these resolution levels:

Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accurate reproduc-
tion of photographs and other shaded originals.

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 receiving
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 *o r #) and then a three-digit code for each num-
ber. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing.

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 s tandard allowing fax machines to specify special delivery charac-
teristics of a transmission. For example, subaddressing allows fax machines from different
manufacturers to send and receive messages into confidential memory mailboxes, or to retrieve
specific files from polling memory.

number to which the fax sent the document, plus the actual time of transmission and how many
pages the unit transmitted.
Thermal (paper) printing
i n 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 diff i c u l t y i n w r i t i n g
on it, have made this method considerably less popular than plain-paper fax printing pa r t i c u-
larly 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 automatically with

every page a fax machine sends; it appears at the top of each page printed by the receiving unit.
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 document, the
encoding technique and the condition of the phone line (clean, noisy, e t c . ) Any change in any one
of these five conditions will affect the speed, sometimes significantly.
