F-Code — A fax-industry standard created by the ITU-T for sub-addressing/password-based communications.
Because F-Code is an industry standard, Pitney Bowes Office Systems fax machines as well as all ITU-T
equipped fax machines from other manufacturers can communicate with each other using sub-addressing.
Group 3 (G3) — Refers to fax machines that use digital encoding. These units transmit one page in less than
one minute and produce resolutions of 203 x 98, 203 x 196, or 203 x 392 lpi.
Inbound Routing — This feature works with F-code (Relay box), which receives documents, then relays them to
other machines.
In order to forward all received faxes to the designated mail address, the relayed box should be configured with
proper sub-address and password.
Internet Fax key — This key is used to change from Fax mode to Internet Fax mode. Press this key to use the
Internet Fax functions.
IP address — A unique number used to identify device or host computers on the Internet.
ITU-T — International Telecommunications Union – Telecommunications Sector. (Formerly known as CCITT, for
Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone.) A telecommunications forum for member
countries of the United Nations whose Study Group XIV established the primary groups for fax equipment, cov-
ering communication protocol and transmission. Pitney Bowes Office Systems Group 3 fax machines offer the
fastest transmissions allowed by the ITU-T when communicating with other Group 3 units.
LCD — Liquid crystal display. Used on some Pitney Bowes Office Systems units for status display.
Location ID — (Also called Receiver ID.) An autodialer feature which lets the fax user enter a descriptive name
to correspond with the number in an autodialer entry. For example, rather than entering only 1-972-555-3465,
the user can enter that number and a name, such as Dallas Branch Office. (Many Pitney Bowes Office Systems
models with this feature allow entry of both upper-case and lower-case letters, for greater ease of reading.)
Mail Broadcast list — Up to 3200 mail addresses can be registered in one Mail Broadcast List. Mail Broadcast
List registration is performed by uploading CSV (Comma Separated Values) files.
Mail group dialing — This group can be used only for mail transmission (Internet fax transmission). Up to 32
groups with group numbers 33 to 64 can be registered.
Only One-touch and Speed-dialing numbers with mail address registered can be registered in a group member.
One-touch dialing — Allows Internet Fax Kit user to store frequently used fax numbers as well as mail
addresses for dialing with the touch of one key. See also Speed-dialing.
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 prevents several remote units from calling at the same
time.
