Redialling
The dialling again, either manually or automatically, of the most recently dialled fax
or phone number. Automatic redialling follows an unsuccessful dialling attempt.
Relay broadcasting
Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in internal memory, transmit the
document to the memory of a remote “hub” fax and then instruct that unit to relay
(i.e., re-transmit) the document to each fax in a call group in the “hub” unit. This
feature speeds extremely high-volume fax communication and allows a single
command to initiate document transmission to hundreds of pre-programmed fax
locations; also saves phone charges for the originating fax machine. Your machine
can either serve as a “hub” unit or initiate a relay broadcast.
Remote fax machine
The machine on the other “end” of a fax communication.
Resolution
The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machine is measured by the
number of horizontal (
H ) and vertical ( V ) lines per inch (lpi) the unit can print. A
Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:
Normal 203
H x 98 V lpi
Fine 203 H x 196 V lpi
Superfine 203 H x 392 V lpi
Some Muratec units also offer greyscale transmission (see also Greyscale) for
accurate reproduction of photographs and other shaded originals.
Scanning width — See Effective scanning width.
SecureMail
Allows a Muratec fax user to send a document (usually something confidential) to, or
receive one into, an “electronic mail box.” The transmission is protected at the
receiving Muratec fax by an access code; the receiving fax prints the document only
when an authorised user enters the code.
Secure polling
Polling in which pre-set passcodes are checked between two machines before polling
is allowed to take place.
Speed-dialling
Allow the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialling with the touch of
three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a two-digit code — for each
number. See also Autodialling and One-touch dialling.
Station ID
(Also called Location ID or Receive ID .) An Autodialler feature which lets the fax user
enter a descriptive name to correspond with the number in an Autodialler entry. For
example, rather than entering only 01483-301900, one can enter that number and a
name, such as Guildford Office.(Many Muratec 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
203 H x 392 V lpi. Your Muratec 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 Muratec 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. See also
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 discolour 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.). Any
change in any of these five conditions will affect the speed, perhaps significantly.
White-line skip
A technique used to speed up fax transmission by bypassing redundant areas, such as
white space.
