Paper sizes All are wid th × 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 let s the
user limit access to fax operations, as well as cert ain settings and even documents readied for

be able to poll the document.)
PBX
(or
PABX
) Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment serving a partic-
ular 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 service representative.
P C L Page Control Language. An industry st andard for printer control. Some Muratec fax
machines include or offer PCL-compatible printing for W indows-based personal computers.

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 infor -
