Super Group 3 — An extension of Group 3 fax technology standards, allowing the use of
high-speed v.34 modems for 33.6 Kbps transmission and high-speed protocols for rapid hand-
shaking.
Superfine resolution — 203

lpi. Your Muratec fax machine’s superfine transmis-
sion mode is Group-3-compatible, not the more limited proprietary version.
TAD
— Telephone answering device, or answering machine. Records incoming voice messages
for playback. You can connect a
TAD
to a Muratec fax machine and use the two on one phone
line.
TCR
— Transmit confirmation report; this provides proof that your Muratec fax did send the
document you set for transmission. Printed after transmission, the
TCR
also identifies the
telephone number to which the fax sent the document, plus the actual time of transmission
and how many pages the unit transmitted. See also
RCR
.
Thermal (paper) printing — A thermal head heats chemically treated, thermally sensitive
paper in patterns conforming to the image the machine has scanned, creating a printed
image. Thermal paper’s tendency to discolor and fade, in addition to its curliness and the
usual difficulty in writing on it, have made this method considerably less popular than plain-
paper fax printing — particularly as plain-paper fax machines have dropped sharply in price.
TriAccess — Muratec’s TriAccess allows a Muratec fax machine to perform three or more
tasks simultaneously without slowing.
TTI
— Transmit terminal identifier. A user-programmable line of information sent automati-
cally with every page a fax machine sends; it appears at the top of each page printed by the
receiving unit.
Transmission speed — How fast a fax machine is sending a fax document. This speed
depends upon the modem speed of each unit, the resolution setting, the content of the docu-
ment, the encoding technique and the condition of the phone line (clean, noisy, etc.) Any
change in any one of these five conditions will affect the speed, sometimes significantly.
V
.29 and v.27 ter — A standard set of communication procedures allowing fax machines to
talk to other units using those standards. Specifically, these standards cover fax transmission
at 9600 bps or slower.
V
.34 — An international standard for fax modems — and other modems — with transmission
speeds of up to 36.6 Kbps. It represents the current maximum standard transmission speed
possible under ITU-T Group 3.
White-line skip — A technique used to speed up fax transmission by bypassing redundant
areas, such as white space.
