bps. Bits per second. Used to express the speed of
transmission of data. Because fax transmission treats a
document as a graphic image rather than as a series of
alphabetic and numeric characters, bps does not correspond
to the number of characters transmitted per second.
Broadcasting. Sending one document to many different
locations at the same time.
Byte. A group of digital elements, usually sent as eight bits to
the byte.
Call reserve. Also called call request. An ITU-T standard fax
feature, which allows a user to request voice communication
prior to, during, or after transmission.
Call-waiting service. An optional telephone company
service that identifies when another party is calling while one
is already on the phone. Call-waiting signals often cause
interruption of fax transmission or reception.
CCITT. See ITU-T.
CCD, CIS. Charged coupled device. The scanning mechanism
used in some fax machines. The CCD “reads” fluorescent
light bouncing off a document.
Compatibility. The term “compatible” describes the ability of
separate things to function together. Your fax machine
features ITU-T Group 3 compatibility, the modern standard
for worldwide communication.
Confidential transmission. See Secure Mail.
Confirmation report. See RCR and TCR.
Continuous polling. See Polling.
Copy mode. Lets one use a fax machine as a convenience
copier.
Cover page (automatic). A small, user-created message; can
be the first page of every transmission.
Database polling. See Polling.
Data compression. Used in digital fax machines to speed
transmission. See also Digital fax, MH and MSE, SMSE.
Delayed command. Transmission or polling operation set by
the user to occur later, automatically, at a predetermined time.
Great for reducing costs by making fax calls during times,
such as late at night or on weekends, when telephone costs
are lowest.
