Memory — Internal document storage. In Muratec fax machines, random access memory in
the form of computer chips is used to store and hold documents for transmission and to hold
some documents that have been received.
Memory overflow — A message that appears on the machine's
current operation requires more of the machine's electronic memory than what is available.
— Modified Huffman, the standard

Modem — Modulator-demodulator. A device that converts digital data, like information from
a fax machine, into an analog signal for transmission over ordinary telephone lines. 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 allows the user to hear the dial-
ing process. This is not a speakerphone, because it has no microphone for speaking to the
person being called. For regular two-way voice communication, users must use the optional
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.

handset. On most Muratec fax models, the user 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.

Passcode — A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection passcode lets the
user limit access to fax operations, as well as certain settings and even documents readied for
polling (in the case of polling, only calling machines whose users enter the proper passcode
will be able to poll the document.)

PCL — Page Control Language. An industry standard for printer control. Some Muratec fax
machines include or offer PCL-compatible printing for Windows-based personal computers.
Platen — A traditional copier-style top to a fax machine or digital copier. Some Muratec fax
machines and multifunctional products include a platen top, allowing you to fax from books
and other awkward sources.
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 pre-
vents several remote units from calling at the same time. 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 pri-
vate line. See also .
PSTN
Proprietary — Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communi-
cations between fax machines that are the same brand.
— Public switched telephone network; the most common type of telephone lines and
PSTN
service in use, in contrast to private or leased lines. A Muratec fax provides fast, reliable data
transmission over a line, and does not need a special or dedicated telephone line. See
PSTN
also Private line.

more tasks simultaneously without slowing.
