Glossary
Direct Sending
Transmitting a fax document one page at a time with-
out having the document scanned into memory.
Document
The sheet of paper containing the data that you send
to or receive from a fax.
dpi

a printer’s resolution.
DRPD
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Allows you to
assign up to five different ring patterns to distinguish
voice and fax calls using your telephone company’s
special services.
E
ECM
Error Correction Mode. The ability of your
FAXPHONE to reduce system and line errors when
sending or receiving from another fax with ECM ca-
pability. ECM is most effective in areas where the
telephone lines are in poor condition or there is fre-
quent interference on the line. Do not use ECM if
you need to send a document quickly and you are
sure the other party can read your transmission with-
out it (turning off ECM also turns off MMR).
Extension
A telephone connected to the FAXPHONE.
F
Fax Only Mode
This option allows you to use your FAXPHONE only
to receive faxes automatically. If you have a dedi-
cated fax line, you may want to set this mode.
Fax/Tel Mode
This option allows you to set the FAXPHONE to
automatically detect whether a call is from a fax or
telephone. If the call is from another fax, the trans-
mission is automatically received. If the call is from
a telephone, the FAXPHONE rings to let you know,
so you can pick up the handset. With this feature,
one telephone line can be shared by both the tele-
phone and the fax.
FINE
The setting for documents with very small charac-
ters and lines.
G
G3, Group 3 fax machine
Defined by CCITT. Uses encoding schemes to trans-
mit image data while reducing the amount of data
that needs to be transmitted, thus reducing transmis-
sion time. G3 fax machines can transmit one page in
less than one minute. Encoding schemes for G3 fax
machines are Modified Huffman (MH), Modified
Read (MR), and Modified Modified Read (MMR).
H
HOOK
The button that engages and disengages the telephone
