SAMPLE SCRIPT
Two other productivity-enhancing features include Parallel Memory
Transmission and Dual Access. When sending multiple pages, the
Gestetner F104 Series does not wait until all the pages are scanned
into memory before dialing the remote destination. This is because
these systems utilize a feature called Parallel Memory Transmission.
As the pages are being scanned, the destination is dialed, a
connection is made, and the transmission begins.
Key benefits are the ability to quickly confirm the connection and
improved throughput speed by expediting the communication. And,
if another person wishes to send a fax, a feature called Dual Access
(also called Multi Access) will enable their job to be scanned into
memory and transmitted, once the line is free. A user can even scan
into memory as an incoming fax prints, ensuring fewer workflow
interruptions.
You may have also noticed that you don't have to place the docu-
ments in the feeder before dialing a fax number or selecting a Quick
or Speed Dial. Have you ever used a fax that requires you to place
the document on the ADF before you are permitted to dial? It is
certainly a nuisance if you have not written the number elsewhere.
Gestetner offers Direct Fax Number Entry so that unlike these older
systems, you have the option to enter the number and then set
the document.
The Gestetner F104 Series' Super G3 33.6-Kbps modem ensures a
fast, cost-cutting transmission speed of up to 2-seconds-per-page –
twice as fast as conventional fax modems.
In addition, once the destination is dialed, and the file is scanned
into memory, the Gestetner F104 Series uses the highest compres-
sion methods possible, MMR (Modified-Modified Read) and JBIG*
(Joint Binary Imaging Group), to minimize file size, reducing
transmission time, and thus shortening line connect time. That
means lower phone bills!
*JBIG is especially effective when sending halftone images.
To handle even greater fax transmission and/or reception volume,
it is possible to equip the Gestetner F104 Series with a second 33.6
Kbps line, also with JBIG compression. This effectively doubles
your fax throughput capacity, with just one machine.
