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 (i.e., 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 pre-programmed fax
locations; also saves phone charges for the originating fax machine. Your machine
can either serve as a "hub" unit or initiate a relay broadcast.

The machine on the other "end" of a fax communication.
Resolution
The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machine is measured by
the number of horizontal ( ) and vertical (
H
A Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:
Normal 203
Fine 203
Superfine 203
Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale ) for
accurate reproduction of photographs and other shaded originals.
Scanning width — See Effective scanning width.
SecureMail
Allows a Muratec fax user to send a document (usually something confidential) to,
or receive one into, 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 pre-set passcodes are checked between two machines before
polling is allowed to take place.
Speed-dialing
Allow the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialing with the touch
of three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a two-digit code — for
each number. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing .

For example, rather than entering only 1-972-555-3465 , one 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.)

TCR
Transmit confirmation report; this provides proof that your Muratec fax did send
the document you set for transmission. Printed after transmission, the
identifies the telephone number to which the fax sent the document, plus the actual
time of transmission and how many pages the unit transmitted. See also
Thermal (paper) printing
A thermal head heats chemically treated, thermally sensitive paper in 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 difficulty in writing on it, have made this method considerably less popular
than plain-paper fax printing — particularly as plain-paper fax machines have
dropped sharply in price.
TTI
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, etc.). Any
change in any of these five conditions will affect the speed, perhaps significantly.
