Secure polling
Polling in which pre-set passcodes are checked between two machines
before polling is allowed to take place.
Speed-dialing
Allow the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialing with
the touch of three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a two-
digit code — for each number. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing.
Station ID
(Also called Location ID or Receive 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 1-123-456-
7890, one can enter that number and a name, such as New York Branch
Office. (Many Pitney Bowes models with this feature allow entry of both
upper-case and lower-case letters, for greater ease of reading.)
Subscriber ID
A fax machine's telephone number, as identified by a user setting. See TTI.
Superfine resolution
203H x 392V lpi. Your Pitney Bowes fax machine's superfine transmission
mode is Group 3-compatible, not the more limited proprietary version.
TCR
Transmit confirmation report; this provides proof that your Pitney Bowes
fax did send the document you set for transmission. Printed after
transmission, the TCR also identifies the telephone number to which the
fax sent the document, plus the actual time of transmission and how
many pages the unit transmitted. Also see RCR.
Thermal (paper) printing
A thermal head heats chemically treated, thermally sensitive paper in
patterns conforming to the image the machine has scanned, creating a
printed image. Thermal paper's tendency to discolor and fade, in addition
to its curliness and the usual difficulty in writing on it, have made this
method considerably less popular than plain-paper fax printing —
particularly as plain-paper fax machines have dropped sharply in price.
TTI
Transmit terminal identifier. A user-programmable line of information
sent automatically with every page a fax machine sends; it appears at the
top of each page printed by the receiving unit.
Transmission speed
How fast a fax machine is sending a fax document. This speed depends
upon the modem speed of each unit, the resolution setting, the content of
the document, the encoding technique and the condition of the phone line
(clean, noisy, etc.). Change in any one of these five conditions will affect
the speed, perhaps significantly.
