M H Modified Huffman, the standard ITU - T Group 3 data compression method. A one-dimen-
sional coding scheme that compresses data in a horizontal direction only. A feature of all Muratec
fax machines, M H assures transmissions faster than one page per minute when communicating
with other Group 3 units, regardless of
manufacturer. See also M R , M M R , M S E , S M S E .
Military format See 24-hour format.
M o d e m Modulator-demodulator. A device that converts digital data, like information from a fax
machine, into an analog signal for transmission over ordinary telephone lines. A modem is
included in a fax machine and allows it to be connected directly to a PSTN telephone line.
M R Modified Read, an ITU - T Group 3 standard data compression method. A two-dimensional
coding scheme that compresses data in both horizontal and vertical directions and allows for
faster transmission when communicating with other Group 3 units, regardless of manufacturer.

facturer. See also M H , M R , M S E , S M S E .
Monitor A speaker in most Muratec fax machines which allows the user to hear the dialing
process. This is not a speakerphone, because it has no microphone for speaking to the person
being called. For regular two-way voice communication, users must use the optional handset.
See also On-hook dialing.
M S E , S M S E Muratec s proprietary data compression methods, allowing a Muratec-manufactured
fax machine to transmit more quickly when communicating with another Muratec-manufactured
unit. M S E and S M S E are features on many Muratec fax machines. See also M H , M R , M M R .
Normal resolution Shown as norm ; 203 H
× 98 V lpi. The default resolution mode for all
Muratec fax machines.
One-touch dialing Allows the fax user to store frequently used fax numbers for dialing with the
touch of one key. See also Autodialing and Speed-dialing.
On-hook dialing Dialing numbers by using the keypad on the fax unit without lifting a handset.
On most Muratec fax models, the user can do this either silently or by using the monitor. See also
Monitor.
Original document size The largest (or smallest) document that can be fed safely through a
fax machine.
Override To change existing settings.

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.)
P B X (or PA B X ) Private branch exchange; privately-owned telephone equipment serving a partic-
ular building, business or area. Many P B X 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 P B X without first checking with the system manufacturer or service representative.
P C L Page Control Language. An industry standard for printer control. Some Muratec fax
machines include or offer PCL-compatible printing for Windows-based personal computers.
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 infor-
mation from one or several remote faxes. The caller bears all telephone charges and prevents
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 exclu-
sive phone circuit between two geographic points. A Muratec fax does not require a private line.
See also PSTN .
Proprietary Non-standard. In fax, refers to a fax feature which works only in communications
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 transmis-
sion over a PSTN line, and does not need a special or dedicated telephone line. See also Private
line.
QuadAccess fi Muratec s QuadAccess allows your Muratec fax machine to perform four or
more tasks simultaneously without slowing.
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.
