44 Chapter Appendix Direct-Dial Number (also Extension): Number used to directly dial a specific extension of a private branch exchange (see Private Branch Exchange). Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF): see Tone Dialing Encoding: e data of your fax transmission are encoded and compressed for the transmission. e minimum standard is MH (Modified Huffmann). Better encoding methods are MR (Modified Read) or MMR (Modified Modified Read). Energy Saving Mode: e machine is normally in the energy save mode. Whenever you receive a fax or if you would like to print or make a copy, your machine will automatically switch back into operating mode (see Warm-Up Phase). Error Correction Mode (ECM): e ECM method reduces transmission errors that result, for example, from bad telephone lines, thereby reducing the duration of transmissions. Both of the connected machines must support ECM. Fax Groups: Machines are classified in terms of internationally standardized fax groups based on their transfer type and speed. Connections between two devices of different groups is possible; the lowest common transfer rate is selected. e determination of the speed takes place during the handshake (see Handshake). Fax groups 1 to 3 are analog machines. Nowadays, groups 1 and 2 are hardly to be found any longer; machines of group 3-which have a transfer speed that ranges from 9,600 to 33,600 bps-are currently most standard. Group 4 machines are digital devices that function exclusively on ISDN systems. ey have a maximum transfer speed of 64,000 bps. Fax Polling: With active fax polling, one can retrieve a document from another machine. For fax polling from a larger company offering several polling services, you can also enter sub-addresses / directdial numbers. In order to do this, you must insert a dialing pause between the fax number and the sub-address. Fax Signal, also CNG Tone (Calling Signal): e tone that a machine sends out to announce a fax transmission. When the CNG tone occurs, the fax switch of the device recognizes an incoming fax call and starts the fax reception. Fax Switch: e fax switch checks incoming telephone calls and controls the ringing behaviour of the machine. According to the selected mode, fax transmissions will be received either automatically or manually. Flash Key (R/PAUSE Key): With the flash key, you can make use of additional telephone services if these special functions are enabled for your telephone line. e R/PAUSE key has replaced the hook-flash function Handshake: e handshake is the initial and final phase of a fax transmission. After establishing the connection, machines check the group affiliation and features such as size, compression or grey tones. After the fax transmission has been completed and before the connection is terminated, the receiving device confirms receipt of the transmission (see Fax Groups). Hard modem: e hard modem is a fixed, built-in modem. In contrast to the soft modem, its features and functions are fixed and thus cannot be changed (see Soft Modem, see Modem). Hook-Flash Function: see Flash Key Journal: e journal contains information pertaining to the last 30 telephone calls as well as to sent and received faxes and Text2Fax messages. e journal can be printed out manually or the machine can be set to dispense automatic print-outs at specific times (for example after 30 transmissions). Memory: If there is no paper or toner in your machine, the machine will store incoming fax transmissions in its memory. Modem: A modem converts digital computer signals into acoustic signals and vice versa. Analog telephone lines transfer only acoustic signals, not digital signals (see Hard Modem, see Soft Modem). Outside Line Access Code: e outside line access code is the number or letter that must be dialed before the actual telephone number on a telephone of a private branch exchange in order to establish a connec- tion to the public telephone network (see Private Branch Exchange). Parallel Connection: see Additional Devices Plug'n'Print Card: Smart card used to set the toner level memory to full after installing a new print cartridge. Polling: see Fax Polling Private Branch Exchange: Private branch exchanges are common in larger companies. Even private ISDN systems can be branch exchanges. To establish a connection to the public telephone network from a private branch exchange, one must dial a number or press a key before the actual telephone number; in most cases this is zero (see Outside Line Access Code). Pulse Dialing: see Tone Dialing Resolution: Number of dots per inch (dpi). For sending and receiving faxes, the resolution options available are Normal, Fine, Sfine and Photo. For copying, the available resolutions are Fast, Quality and Photo. e higher the resolution, the longer it takes to complete the transmission. Scanning: e reading of a document into the fax memory or into the computer in order to send it, copy it or edit it. Sender Identification: e telephone number and name of the sender as well as the date and time of the fax transmission appear in the upper margin of each received fax. Serial Connection: see Additional Devices Soft Modem: e machine does not contain a fixed, built-in modem. A program executes the modem function on demand and accesses the machine memory (RAM). e features and functions of the soft modem can be modified by altering the software (see Hard Modem, see Modem). Stand-alone: Single work station that is not connected to other workstations over a network. Sub-address: see Fax Polling Time Stamp: e exact date and time of receipt appear in the page header of each
