Paper sizes — All are width × length:
Letter-sized = 8.5″×11.0 Legal-sized = 8.5″×14.0
A5 = 5.8″× 8.3 A4 = 8.3″×11.7 A3 = 11.7″×16.5
B5 = 7.2″×10.1 B4 = 10.1″×17.0 B3 = 14.3″×20.3
Passcode — A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection pass-
code 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 trans-
mission 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 docu-
ment 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; pro-
vides 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 pro-
vides 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.

ID
— See Station
ID

Redialing — The dialing again, either manually or automatically controlled, of the
most recently dialed fax or phone number. Automatic redialing follows an unsuc-
cessful dialing attempt.
Relay broadcasting — Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in
internal memory, transmit the document to the memory of a remote “hub” fax and
then instruct that unit to relay (i. e., re-transmit) the document to each fax in a call
group in the “hub” unit. This feature speeds extremely high-volume fax communica-
tion and allows a single command to initiate document transmission to hundreds of
preprogrammed fax locations; also saves phone charges for the originating machine.
Your machine can either serve as a “hub” unit or initiate a relay broadcast.
Remote fax machine — The machine on the other “end” of a fax communication.
REN
— See Ringer equivalence number.
Resolution — The resolution of documents transmitted or copied by fax machines
is measured by the number of horizontal (
H
) and vertical (
V
) lines per inch (lpi) the
unit can print. A Muratec unit may offer one or more of these resolution levels:
Normal 203
H
× 98
V
lpi
Fine 203
H
× 196
V
lpi
Superfine 203
H
× 392
V
lpi
Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accu-
rate reproduction of photographs and other shaded originals.
Ringer equivalence number — Also called
REN
. A number assigned to telecom-
munications equipment used in the United States; designed to prevent overloading
on a telephone circuit. See also Load number.
Scanning width — See Effective scanning width.
SecureMail — Allows a Muratec fax user to send a document (usually something
confidential) to, or receive one into, an “electronic mail box.” The transmission is
protected at the receiving Muratec fax by an access code; the receiving fax prints
the document only when an authorized user enters the code.
Secure polling — Polling in which preset passcodes are checked between two
machines before polling is allowed to take place.
Speed-dialing — Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dial-
ing with the touch of three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a
two-digit code — for each number. See also Autodialing and One-touch dialing.
Station
ID
— (Also called Location
ID
or Receiver
ID
.) An autodialer feature which
lets the fax user enter a descriptive name to correspond with the number in an
autodialer entry. For example, rather than entering only 1-972-555-3465, one can
enter that number and a name, such as Dallas Branch Office. (Many Muratec mod-
els with this feature allow entry of both upper-case and lower-case letters, for
greater ease of reading.)
Subscriber
ID
— A fax machine’s telephone number, as identified by a user set-
ting. See
TTI
.
