Pause time
When registering long distance numbers, you sometimes have to insert a pause
either within or after the number. The location of the pause and pause time depend on
the system. Pauses entered within a number are two seconds long, and pauses at the
end of a number are 10 seconds. A pause is inserted within a number or at the end of
a number by pressing [Redial/Pause]. [Redial/Pause] is preset at the factory to enter
a two second pause within a number, although this may differ according to your
location. Pauses entered after a number are always fixed at 10 seconds. If you adjust
the pause time, this only changes the length of the pauses inserted within numbers,
and does not affect pauses entered at the end of numbers.
PBX
Stands for Private Branch Exchange. A PBX controls the flow of telephone traffic
through the institution itself, including automatic call back, dialing, and paging
systems. See switchboard.
PIN code
PIN Stands for Personal Identification Number. Some PBX (Private Branch
Exchange) systems require that a PIN code be entered when dialing a number to
make a call or send a document via fax machine. PIN codes prevent unauthorized
personnel from making calls. To protect privileged access to the telephone lines, only
authorized users are entrusted with the PIN codes for daily operations. Depending on
the requirements for the PBX system, the PIN code may be entered either before the
number as a prefix, or after the number as a suffix. If your PBX requires a PIN to
connect to an outside line, the machine can be set up using the User Data Settings to
prompt you for a PIN code every time you dial.
Polling box
The polling box is used to store documents for polling sending in memory. The polling
box holds the scanned document in memory until the other party polls your machine
to send the document.
Polling transmission
Polling means one fax machine requests another to send a document. This is useful
when the sending party, the party with the original document, is not in the office, but
the document must be sent out. The receiving party dials the fax holding the original
and requests that it be sent. In other words, the receiver always polls the sender.
Before using the polling feature, you have to set up polling boxes.
Preset polling box
Preset polling enables you to have your machine poll another machine at a preset
time.
Printable area
The area of the document that can actually be reproduced and printed on the
recording paper by the receiving machine. The print area is smaller than the paper.
