G-2 Glossary
Automatic image reduction
The MultiPASS can print the date, time, name or company name, and a fax/
telephone number at the top of the faxes it receives. To prevent this information
from crowding the faxed image on the page and possibly lengthening the fax, the
MultiPASS automatically reduces the size of the image on the page.
Automatic redialing
When the receiving fax machine is busy, the MultiPASS waits a specified time and
then automatically redials the number. You define the number of times the unit
redials and the length of time between redialing.
B
Bi-directional parallel interface port
An interface connection that is capable of both sending and receiving. For
example, when you print or send a fax from your Macintosh, data goes from your
Macintosh to the MultiPASS; when you scan or receive a fax into your Macintosh,
data goes from the MultiPASS to your Macintosh.
