lpi
Lines per inch. The way fax image resolution is measured. (For example,
see Normal resolution.)
MH
Modified Huffman, the standard ITU-T Group 3 data compression
method. A one-dimensional coding scheme that compresses data in
horizontal direction only. A feature of all Pitney Bowes fax machines, MH
assures transmissions faster than one page per minute when
communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of manufacturer.
Modem
A device that converts digital data, like information from a fax machine,
into an analogue signal for transmission over ordinary (analogue)
telephone lines. Contraction of modulator-demodulator. A modem is
included in a fax machine and allows it to be connected directly to a
PSTN telephone line.
Monitor
A speaker in most Pitney Bowes fax machines which can allow one 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, one must use the handset. See also On-hook
dialing.
MSE, SMSE
Pitney Bowes' proprietary data compression methods, allowing Pitney
Bowes-manufactured fax machine to transmit more quickly when
communicating with another Pitney Bowes-manufactured unit. MSE and
SMSE are features on many Pitney Bowes fax machines. See also MH.
Normal resolution
203H x 98V lpi (also called "standard"). Default resolution mode for all
Pitney Bowes fax machines.
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 the
handset. On most Pitney Bowes fax models, one can do this either silently
or by using the monitor. Also see Monitor.
Original document size
The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed safely through a fax
machine.
