Memory Internal document storage. In Muratec fax machines, random access memory in
the form of computer chips is used to store and hold documents for transmission and to hold
some documents that have been received.
Memory overflow A message that appears on the machine s
LCD
when the
current operation requires more of the machine s electronic memory than what is available.
MH
Modified Huffman, the standard
ITU
-
T
Group 3 data compression method. A one-dimen-
sional coding scheme that compresses data in a horizontal direction only. A feature of all
Muratec fax machines,
MH
assures transmissions faster than one page per minute when com-
municating with other Group 3 units, regardless of
manufacturer. See also

Modem Modulator-demodulator. A device that converts digital data, like information from
a fax machine, into an analog signal for transmission over ordinary telephone lines. A modem
is included in a fax machine and allows it to be connected directly to a
PSTN
telephone line.

Monitor A speaker in most Muratec fax machines which allows the user to hear the dial-
ing process. This is not a speakerphone, because it has no microphone for speaking to the
person being called. For regular two-way voice communication, users must use the optional
handset. See also On-hook dialing.

Muratec s proprietary data compression methods, allowing a Muratec-manufac-
tured fax machine to transmit more quickly when communicating with another

lpi. The default resolution mode for all
Muratec fax machines.
One-touch dialing Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialing
with the touch of one key. See also Autodialing and Speed-dialing.
On-hook dialing Dialing numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without lifting a
handset. On most Muratec fax models, the user can do this either silently or by using the
monitor. See also Monitor.
Original document size The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed safely
through a fax machine.
Override To change existing settings.
Paper sizes All are width × length:
Letter-sized = 8.5″×11.0(216 × 279 mm) Legal-sized = 8.5″×14.0(216 × 356 mm)
A5 = 5.8″× 8.3 (148 × 210 mm) B5 = 7.2″×10.1(182 × 257 mm)
A4 = 8.3″×11.7(210 × 297 mm) B4 = 10.1″×14.3(257 × 364 mm)
A3 = 11.7″×16.5(297 × 420 mm)
Passcode A four-digit code-number. On your fax machine, the protection passcode lets the
user limit access to fax operations, as well as certain settings and even documents readied for
polling (in the case of polling, 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 transmission 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 ser-
vice representative.
PCL Page Control Language. An industry standard for printer control. Some Muratec fax
machines include or offer PCL-compatible printing for Windows-based personal computers.
Platen A traditional copier-style top to a fax machine or digital copier. Some Muratec fax
machines and multifunctional products include a platen top, allowing you to fax from books
and other awkward sources.
Polling Automatic transmission to a calling remote fax, or reception of a document 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 pre-
vents several remote units from calling at the same time. See also Secure polling.
Private line (Or leased line.) A service offered by many telephone systems; provides an
exclusive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a pri-
vate line. See also
PSTN
.
Proprietary Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communi-
cations between fax machines that are the same brand.
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 provides fast, reliable data
transmission over a
PSTN
line, and does not need a special or dedicated telephone line. See
also Private line.
QuadAccess
Muratec s QuadAccess allows your Muratec fax machine to perform four or
more tasks simultaneously without slowing.
RCR
Receive confirmation report. An
RCR
is your assurance that the document you trans-
mitted 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. See also
