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 — Printer Control Language. An industry standard for printer control. Some Muratec
fax machines include or offer PCL-compatible printing for Windows-based personal comput-
ers.
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
TCR
.
Receiver
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 unsuccessful dialing
attempt and can be done manually or automatically.
Relay broadcasting — Lets some Muratec fax machines store a document in internal mem-
ory, transmit the document to the memory of a remote “hub” fax and then instruct that unit
to relay (re-transmit) the document to each fax in a call group in the “hub” unit. This feature
speeds extremely high-volume fax communication and allows a single command to initiate
document transmission to hundreds of preprogrammed fax locations. It also saves phone
charges for the originating machine. Your machine can 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 mea-
sured 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

Fine 203

Some Muratec units also offer grayscale transmission (see also Grayscale) for accurate repro-
duction of photographs and other shaded originals.
Ringer equivalence number — Also called
REN
. A number assigned to telecommunications
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 to or receive one into (usually
something confidential) an “electronic mail box.” The transmission is protected at the receiv-
ing 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 dialing with
the touch of three keys — an identifier key (either * or #) and then a three-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, the user can enter that number and a
name, such as Dallas Branch Office. (Many Muratec models with this feature allow entry of
both upper-case and lower-case letters, for greater ease of reading.)
Subaddressing — An ITU-T standard allowing fax machines to specify special delivery
characteristics of a transmission. For example, subaddressing allows fax machines from dif-
ferent manufacturers to send and receive messages into confidential memory mailboxes, or to
retrieve specific files from polling memory.
Subscriber
ID
— A fax machine’s telephone number, as identified by a user setting. See
TTI
.
