Pressing the individual numeric buttons to dial a fax
number. Also called regular dialing.

phone and fax calls. If you hear a slow beep it indi-
cates an incoming fax transmission from another
machine. Just press [START/COPY] to receive the
incoming fax.

Manual redialing

When you use Regular dialing, you can redial a num-
ber manually simply by pressing [REDIAL] on the
operation panel. The last number called is the num-
ber redialed.

Memory Sending

Scans a document into memory before the
FAXPHONE dials the numbers and sends it. This
method is faster than direct sending and it allows
you to retrieve your original document immediately
after scanning.

N

A term applied to a variety of problems that impair
the operation of telephone lines used for faxing.

Numeric buttons

The round numbered buttons on the operation panel
marked the same as a standard telephone keypad. Press
them to perform Manual Dialing. You also use the
numeric buttons to enter numbers and letters when
you register numbers and names, and for entering
Coded Speed Dialing codes with two or more digits.

One-touch Speed Dialing buttons

The rectangular buttons numbered 01 to 10 on the
operation panel, each of which may be registered as
a fax or telephone number. Once a number is regis-
tered, you press one button to dial the entire num-
ber.

distance numbers and for dialing out through some
telephone systems or switchboards.

with intermediate tones, such as photographs.

R

Redialing-automatic

When the fax you dial does not answer or a sending
error occurs, the FAXPHONE waits for a specified
interval and then redials the same fax number. You
can adjust the number of redials and the length of
time between redialing.

Redialing-manual

When you use the regular dialing method, you can
quickly call the last number dialed by pressing
[REDIAL].

Reduction mode

The FAXPHONE’s automatic feature that slightly
reduces the received image to allow room at the top
of the page for the sender’s ID information. You can
also reduce the size of large incoming documents
using the RX REDUCTION option.

Resolution

The density of dots for any given output device. Ex-
pressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolu-
tion causes font characters and graphics to have a
jagged appearance. Higher resolution means
smoother curves and angles as well as a better match
to traditional typeface designs. Resolution values are
represented by horizontal data and vertical data.

Rotary pulse

A telephone dialing system where a dial is rotated to
send pulses to the telephone switching system. When
you pulse dial, you hear clicks. When you touch-
tone dial, the most common dialing system, you hear
tones. Rotary pulse dialing requires certain setting
adjustments.
