Page 217: Glossary
Glossary Auto halftone Auto halftone automatically distinguishes between the text areas and halftone areas (photographs, etc.) of a document, and scans accordingly. For text areas of a document, the fax scans faster, and for halftone areas, it scans more precisely. However, if the ground colour of the document is dark, the transmission speed will be slower.
Page 218 MultiPASS L90 can produce a resolution up to 600 dpi precision. Dual access Enables the MultiPASS L90 to receive a fax, even if it is already copying or printing. Also enables you to load other faxes into memory, make copies, print out reports, print documents or register information while the unit sends a fax from memory.
Page 219 Voice answering: When the MultiPASS L90 receives a call, it responds with a built- in voice message: “You are connected. Please hold.”...
Page 220 Manual receiving A method of receiving faxes in which you answer all incoming calls using the handset, and receive faxes by pressing (START/COPY) and then hanging up the handset. Manual sending via the handset or (HOOK) button A method of sending faxes in which you dial the number, you speak with the other party and then press (START/COPY) to begin sending the document.
Page 221 As the ﬁrst page of a multiple document is being scanned, your MultiPASS L90 will begin to call the other party, and transmit the information even as the remaining pages are being scanned. The unit scans the document quickly so you can get it back in a few moments and return to work.
Page 222 Because your MultiPASS L90 supports TWAIN, you can use the scanning features of the MultiPASS L90 with any Windows application that also supports TWAIN. TWAIN, the industry standard, was developed by the TWAIN working group which consists of representatives from many leaders in the scanner hardware and software industry.
