An interface that transmits multiple bits simultaneously (usually in
one-byte segments). Your MultiPASS L60 has a built-in, Centronics-type

and for dialling out through some telephone systems or switchboards.

telephone number.
PC fax

receive PC faxes, and the MultiPASS Desktop Manager lets you save,
sort, and print the PC faxes.
Photo
The document setting you use for sending or copying documents with
intermediate tones, such as photographs.
Polling
One fax machine requesting another to send a document. The receiving
party calls the fax machine holding the document to be sent, and

graphics (the printing area is smaller than the paper). On this unit, the
printing area varies depending on the type of paper being used.

MultiPASS L60). The printer driver keeps track of the attributes of a
printer and the codes the program must send to access those attributes.
