MH

Modified Huffman, the standard

ITU

-

T

Group 3 data compression method. A one-

dimensional coding scheme that compresses data in horizontal direction only. A
feature of all Muratec fax machines,

MH

assures transmissions faster than one page

per minute when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of
manufacturer. See also

MSE

,

SMSE

.

Modem

A device that converts digital data, like information from a fax machine, into an
analogue signal for transmission over ordinary (analogue) telephone lines.
Contraction of modulator-demodulator. A modem is included in a fax machine and
allows it to be connected directly to a

PSTN

telephone line.

Monitor

A speaker in most Muratec fax machines which can allow one to hear the dialling
process. This is not a speakerphone, because it has no microphone for speaking to the
person being called; for regular two-way voice communication, one must use the
handset. See also On-hook dialling.

MSE

,

SMSE

Muratec’s proprietary data compression methods, allowing a Muratec-manufactured
fax machine to transmit more quickly when communicating with another Muratec-
manufactured unit.

MSE

and

SMSE

are features on many Muratec fax machines. See

H

x 98

V

lpi. Default resolution mode for all Muratec faxes.

One-touch dialling

Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialling with the touch of
one key. See also Autodialling and Speed-dialling.

On-hook dialling

Dialling numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without lifting the handset. On
most Muratec fax models, one can do this either silently or by using the monitor. See
also Monitor.

Original document size

The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed safely through a fax machine.

Paper sizes

All are width x length ( in mm):
Letter = 216 × 279

Legal = 216 × 356

Tabloid = 279 × 432

= 148 × 210

A

4

= 210 × 297

A

= 297 × 420

B

= 182 × 257

B

= 257 × 364

Passcode

A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection passcode lets the user
limit access to fax operations in general, as well as certain settings and even
documents readied for polling (in the latter case, only calling machines whose users
enter the proper passcode will be able to poll the document.)

PBX

(or

PABX

)

Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment serving a particular
building, business or area. Many

PBX

systems use digital transmission lines which,

unlike more common

PSTN

lines, are not compatible with fax machine use. The user

should not connect a fax unit to a

PBX

without first checking with the system

manufacturer or service representative.

Polling

Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a document from a
remote fax set for this operation. Polling is convenient whenever a central unit must
receive information from one or several remote faxes. The caller bears all telephone
charges and prevents several remote units from calling at the same time. In database
polling, a remote fax polls a document directly from the memory of a Muratec fax.
(Regular polling requires the document to be physically in the polled fax’s feeder.)
See also Secure polling.

Private line (or Leased line)

A service offered by many telephone systems; provides an exclusive phone circuit
between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a private line. See
also

PSTN

.

Proprietary

Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communications
between same-branded fax machines.

PSTN

Public switched telephone network; the most common type of telephone lines and
service in use, in contrast to private or leased lines. A Muratec fax provides fast,
reliable data transmission over a

PSTN

line, and does not need a special or dedicated

telephone line. See also Private line.

RCR

Receive confirmation report. An

RCR

is your assurance that the document you

transmitted was received. The

RCR

prints after your transmission, identifying the

receiving unit and recording the date, time, transmission mode, number of pages sent
and the result. The

RCR

is an exclusive feature of Muratec fax machines and is

available only when transmitting to other, compatible Muratec fax machines. See also
