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

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 Imagistics fax machines which allows the user 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, 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.
On-hook dialing — Dialing numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without lifting a
handset. On most Imagistics 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.
Override — To change existing settings.

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 Imagistics
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 Imagistics
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. An Imagistics fax does not require a
private line. See also
Proprietary — Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communi-
cations between fax machines that are the same brand.
