If you connect an answering machine to your
FAXPHONE, this option allows you to receive docu-
ments sent from other fax machines, as well as mes-
sages from people calling when you are out.
Automatic dialing
Dialing fax or telephone numbers by pressing one
or three buttons. To use automatic dialing, you must
register the numbers in the FAXPHONE’s memory.
See also One-touch Speed Dialing and Coded Speed
Dialing.
BBi-directional printing
The ability of the FAXPHONE to print both left to
right and right to left. This printing method provides
a fast speed. See also Unidirectional printing.
bps

fax machine sends and receives data.
Broadcasting
Transmitting documents to more than one location
(through the FAXPHONE’s memory).
Bubble Jet printing
An ink-jet type printing method that heats the ink to
the boiling point to form a bubble. When the bubble
expands, there is no room left in the nozzle for the
ink and the ink is projected onto the paper.CCCITT #1 Chart
A test chart, defined by CCITT, used to measure the
transmission speed as well as the transmitting and
receiving memory capacity of a fax machine.
CCITT/ITU-TS

communications Union-Telecommunications Sector
(ITU-TS), a committee created to set international
standards for telecommunications.
CNG

starts to receive the fax transmission. The majority
of fax machines in use today can send and detect
CNG signals.
Coded Speed Dialing
An automatic dialing method that allows you to dial
a fax or telephone number by pressing three buttons-
[CODED DIAL] and a two-digit code using the nu-
meric buttons. You can register up to 20 Coded Speed
Dialing numbers in the FAXPHONE.

voice and fax calls using your telephone company’s
special services.
EECM
Error Correction Mode. The ability of your
FAXPHONE to reduce system and line errors when
sending or receiving from another fax with ECM ca-
pability. ECM is most effective in areas where the
telephone lines are in poor condition or there is fre-
quent interference on the line. Do not use ECM if
you need to send a document quickly and you are
sure the other party can read your transmission with-
out it (turning off ECM also turns off MMR).

automatically detect whether a call is from a fax or
telephone. If the call is from another fax, the trans-

one telephone line can be shared by both the tele-
phone and the fax.
FINE
The setting for documents with very small charac-
ters and lines.
GG3, Group 3 fax machine
Defined by CCITT. Uses encoding schemes to trans-
mit image data while reducing the amount of data
that needs to be transmitted, thus reducing transmis-
sion time. G3 fax machines can transmit one page in

machines are Modified Huffman (MH), Modified
Read (MR), and Modified Modified Read (MMR).
HHOOK

sion phone.

number. Also called regular dialing.
Manual Mode

phone and fax calls. If you hear a slow beep it indi-
cates an incoming fax transmission from another
machine. Just press [START/COPY] to receive the
incoming fax.
Manual redialing
When you use Regular dialing, you can redial a num-
ber manually simply by pressing [REDIAL] on the
operation panel. The last number called is the num-
ber redialed.

the operation of telephone lines used for faxing.
Numeric buttons
The round numbered buttons on the operation panel
marked the same as a standard telephone keypad. Press

distance numbers and for dialing out through some
telephone systems or switchboards.
PBX

PHOTO
The document setting you use for sending documents
with intermediate tones, such as photographs.
Pulse
See Rotary pulse.
RRedialing-automatic
When the fax you dial does not answer or a sending
error occurs, the FAXPHONE waits for a specified
interval and then redials the same fax number. You
can adjust the number of redials and the length of
time between redialing.
Redialing-manual
When you use the regular dialing method, you can
quickly call the last number dialed by pressing
[REDIAL].
Reduction mode
The FAXPHONE’s automatic feature that slightly
reduces the received image to allow room at the top
of the page for the sender’s ID information. You can
also reduce the size of large incoming documents
using the RX REDUCTION option.
Resolution
The density of dots for any given output device. Ex-
pressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolu-
tion causes font characters and graphics to have a
jagged appearance. Higher resolution means
smoother curves and angles as well as a better match
to traditional typeface designs. Resolution values are
represented by horizontal data and vertical data.
Rotary pulse
A telephone dialing system where a dial is rotated to
send pulses to the telephone switching system. When
you pulse dial, you hear clicks. When you touch-
tone dial, the most common dialing system, you hear
tones. Rotary pulse dialing requires certain setting
adjustments. 
						

							109GlossarySSender ID

top of a document including: date and time, the
sender’s fax/telephone number, sender’s name,

or printed documents containing only text and no

Switchboard
Also called a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) inter-
nal switching system. A telephone system, usually
for a large company office with many extensions,
whereby you must dial an outside line number along
with the regular telephone or fax number. Dialing
out through a switchboard sometimes requires use
of the [REDIAL/PAUSE] button.
TTimed sending
Setting the FAXPHONE to transmit documents at a
preset time in the future. See also Delayed sending.
TONE
A button that allows you to temporarily switch
to touch-tone from pulse dialing. In some countries,
on-line data services may require that you use tone
dialing.
Tone/pulse setting
The ability to set the FAXPHONE to match the tele-
phone dialing system your telephone line uses: touch-
tone or rotary pulse.
TTI
Transmit Terminal ID. See Sender ID.UUnidirectional printing
Printing in one direction only, left to right. This print-
ing method on the FAXPHONE provides a higher
image quality but slower print speed. See also
Bi-directional printing.
