This glossary contains terms you may encounter when discussing or reading about fax
machines. Please use these definitions for reference only. A list of definitions can also be
found on the Muratec website at www.muratec.com.

24-hour format   Also called military format. A format for keeping time that does not use
a.m. or p.m. to distinguish between morning and afternoon. In the 24-hour format, one o clock
in the morning marks 1:00, noon marks 12:00 and midnight marks 24:00. To calculate the 24-
hour format, add 12 hours to all times after noon.

For example, 1:30 p.m. would be 13:30 in the 24-hour format; 10:45 p.m. would be 22:45 in the
24-hour format. And 11:15 a.m. would be 11:15 in the 24-hour format.

A3, A4, B4  Standard stationery sizes defined by the International Standards
Organization, an agency of the United Nations. See also Paper sizes.

ADF   Automatic document feeder. See document feeder.

Alternate number   The number your machine dials after all attempts to the regular
number fail. The user programs this alternate number, if so desired.

Answering machine   S e e  

TAD

.

Autodialing  Enables user to store preprogrammed telephone numbers in the unit s mem-
ory. Storage capability varies from unit to unit.

Automatic fallback

 The ability of a fax machine to slow down ( fall back ), when commu-

nicating with another fax which is communicating at a slower rate.

Automatic reduction  Many Muratec fax machines will automatically reduce the size of
documents being transmitted to accommodate the effective printing width of the receiving
unit. For example, this allows a fax machine with a 10

″

(256 mm) scanning width to send an

image 10

″

(256 mm) wide to a unit with an 8.3

″

(210 mm) print width. The receiving fax

machine will receive a reduced-size printout of the complete image.

Bit

 The smallest unit of information in a computer. Some Muratec fax machines, which

are actually computers  dedicated to telecommunications, allow users to change bits of infor-
mation to provide or cancel features through software settings.

Bits per second   S e e  bps.

Black density

 Also called black coverage. The amount of non-white area on a page. For

example, most regular office correspondence has a black density well under 10%, due to the
presence of margins, spaces between words, spaces between lines and paragraphs and even
spaces within letters. However, drawings and photographs have a much higher black density,
sometimes approaching 100%. The higher a page s black density, the more slowly a fax
machine sends it.

Broadcast   A fax transmission in which a single document is sent to more than one loca-
tion.

bps  Bits per second. Used to express the speed of transmission of data. Because fax trans-
mission treats a document as a graphic image rather than as a series of alphabetic and
numeric characters, bps does not correspond to the number of characters transmitted per sec-
ond.

Byte

 A group of digital elements, usually sent as eight bits to the byte.

Call reserve

 Also called call request. An 

ITU

-

T

standard fax feature which allows a user to

request voice communication prior to, during or after transmission.

Call-waiting service

 An optional telephone company service that alerts you to another

incoming call when the phone is already in use. Call-waiting signals often cause interruption
of fax transmission or reception.

Caller 

ID

 Optional service provided by your local telephone company that allows you to

see a display of the number (phone or fax) that is calling.

CCD

,

CIS

 Charged coupled device, contact image sensor. Two types of scanning mechanisms

used in some Muratec fax machines. The 

CCD

reads fluorescent light bouncing off a docu-

ment. The 

CIS

uses a flat bar of light-emitting diodes (

LED

s).

Command queue   The  list your machine keeps of all its pending commands.

Command number   The number your machine gives to each  j o b it is programmed to
complete. You must know the command number in order to cancel or change any of the
machine s jobs that it stores.

Compatibility

 The term  compatible describes the ability of separate things to function

together. Your Muratec fax machine features 

ITU

T

Group 3 compatibility, the modern stan-

dard for worldwide communication.

Confidential transmission   S e e  SecureMail.

Confirmation report   S e e  

RCR

and 

TCR

.

Continuous polling    S e e  Polling.

Copy mode

 Allows your fax machine to be used as a convenience copier.

Cover page (automatic)

 A small, user-created message; can be the first page of every

transmission.

Database polling   S e e  Polling.

Data compression  Used in digital fax machines to speed transmission. See also Digital
fax,
