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.)
Subscriber
ID
— A fax machine’s telephone number, as identified by a user set-
ting. See
TTI
.

lpi. Your Muratec fax machine’s superfine
transmission 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.
Thermal (paper) printing — A thermal head heats chemically treated, thermally
sensitive paper in patterns conforming to the image the machine has scanned, cre-
ating 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 consid-
erably less popular than plain-paper fax printing — particularly as plain-paper fax
machines have dropped sharply in price.
TTI
— Transmit terminal identifier. A user-programmable line of information sent
automatically 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 on the modem speed of each unit, the resolution setting, the content
of the document, 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.
White-line skip — A technique used to speed up fax transmission by bypassing
redundant areas, such as white space.
