13.5 Fax Glossary
This section describes the general terms used in the fax communications.
Explanations may be given of the terms of functions that are not included in this machine.
Term Description
Address Book A function of registering frequently used fax numbers of recipients. When regis-
tering abbreviated addresses, you should also register the destination name and
the search string, so that you can specify the destination using the search string
to select.
Background Remov-
al
A function to adjust the shading of background color before sending the docu-
ment.
Batch transmission A function to send documents as one document at a specified time if the docu-
ments have the same transmission conditions such as destination, transmission
time, memory transmission or resolution, and are stored in the same memory.
Baudrate Baudrate indicates, for the fax, the transmission rate of a modem.
This machine can communicate at a high transmission rate of 33,600bps. When
selecting overseas communication mode, the machine communicates at
7200bps or 4800bps, a rate suitable for noise-resistance.
Binding Position A function to specify the binding position of a double-sided document when it is
sent using ADF. Two types of binding positions are available for a double-sided
document: One is the top and bottom binding with the binding position at the top
or bottom of the document. The other is left and right binding with the binding po-
sition at the left or right of the document. Note that the second side of the docu-
ment has a different top or bottom relation.
Book Copy A function of, when sending a fax of a book or catalog, separating the front cover,
back cover, right pages, and left pages into individual pages.
bps The acronym for bit per second, which is a unit of data transmission, indicating
the amount of data transmitted per second.
Broadcast A transmission of a single document to many recipients in one operation.
Bulletin board A function of posting documents to be viewed, or stores the documents to be
transmitted via polling.
Check Dest. & Send A function to send a fax after comparing the specified fax number with the fax
number information of the recipient (CSI). Only when those numbers match, the
function sends the fax. If the numbers are not matched, a transmission error oc-
curs.Therefore, this prevents misdirected transmissions. The sender's fax
number must be correctly registered with recipient's machine.
Closed Network RX A function to accept only transmissions from recipient machines with a matching
password.
Confidential com-
munication
A function to transmit a document to specific persons you want them to read it.
Documents sent via confidential communication are not printed when received,
and are saved in a confidential box of the recipient's fax machine. The document
can be printed by some specific operation such as entering the access code for
the confidential box.
Default value A setting value configured for the machine prior to shipment from the factory.
Some default values can be changed by using the settings menu. It is convenient
to set a frequently used value to the default value according to your application.
Dialing Method Three types are provided for Dialing methods: PB (push-button dialing), 10PPS
(pulse dialing/ 10 pps), and 20PPS (pulse dialing/ 20 pps).
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
ECM is the error resending method used for G3 communication. ECM checks
whether the data is correctly sent to the destination, and should it be not the case,
ECM resends the same data while maintains the serial communication. If a re-
ceiver also provides the ECM mode, this machine uses the ECM-based commu-
nication with the receiver unless the ECM mode is disabled.
