Modem
A device that converts digital data, like information from a fax machine, into an
analogue signal for transmission over ordinary (analogue) telephone lines.
Contraction of modulator-demodulator. A modem is included in a fax machine and
allows it to be connected directly to a
Monitor
A speaker in most Muratec fax machines which can allow one to hear the dialing
process. This is not a speakerphone, because it has no microphone for speaking to
the person being called; for regular two-way voice communication, one must use
the handset. See also On-hook dialing.

One-touch dialing
Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialing with the touch
of one key. See also Autodialing and Speed-dialing.
On-hook dialing
Dialing numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without lifting the handset.
On most Muratec fax models, one can do this either silently or by using the
monitor. See also Monitor.
Original document size
The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed safely through a fax machine.
Paper sizes
All are width x length:
Letter = 8.5 × 11.0 Legal = 8.5 × 14.0
5 = 5.8 × 8.3 4 = 8.3 × 11.7

Passcode
A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection passcode lets the
user limit access to fax operations in general, as well as certain settings and even
documents readied for polling (in the latter case, only calling machines whose
users enter the proper passcode will be able to poll the document.)
(or )
PBX PABX
Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment serving a particular
building, business or area. Many
PBX
unlike more common lines, are not compatible with fax machine use. The
PSTN
user should not connect a fax unit to a
manufacturer or service representative.
Polling
Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a document from a
remote fax set for this operation. Polling is convenient whenever a central unit
must receive information from one or several remote faxes. The caller bears all
telephone charges and prevents several remote units from calling at the same time.
In database polling, a remote fax polls a document directly from the memory of a
Muratec fax. (Regular polling requires the document to be physically in the polled
fax's feeder.) See also Secure polling.
Private line (or Leased line)
A service offered by many telephone systems; provides an exclusive phone circuit
between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a private line. See
also .
PSTN
Proprietary
Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communications
between same-branded fax machines.
PSTN
Public switched telephone network; the most common type of telephone lines and
service in use, in contrast to private or leased lines. A Muratec fax provides fast,
reliable data transmission over a
PSTN
telephone line. See also Private line.
RCR

RCR
receiving unit and recording the date, time, transmission mode, number of pages
sent and the result. The is an exclusive feature of Muratec fax machines and is
