Canon L250 - Manual (Page 274)

dpi
Dots per inch. A unit of measurement for
indicating a unit’s resolution. Your FAX-L250
produces a resolution of 600 dpi.
Dual access (Multitasking)
Enables the FAX-L250 to receive a fax, even if
it is copying or printing a document. Also
enables you to load other faxes into memory,
make copies, print out reports, print
documents or register information while the
FAX-L250 sends a fax from memory.
`
E
ECM
Error Correction Mode. The ability of your
FAX-L250 to reduce system and line errors
when sending or receiving from another fax
with ECM capability. ECM is most effective in
areas where the telephone lines are in poor
condition or there is frequent 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 without it
(turning off ECM also turns off MMR).
Extension
A telephone connected to the FAX-L250 that
is used in place of the handset. You can use
the extension telephone to activate incoming
reception of documents manually.
`
F
Factory default
The FAX-L250 is preprogrammed in the
factory with settings that we recommend.
These are known as Factory Default Settings.
You can customise your FAX-L250 by
programming settings other than the Factory
Default Settings.
FAX/TEL switching
This option allows you to set the FAX-L250 to
automatically detect whether a call is from a
fax or telephone. If the call is from another
fax, the transmission is automatically received.
If the call is from a telephone, the FAX-L250
rings to let you know, so you can pick up the
handset. With this feature, one telephone line
can be shared by both the telephone and the
fax.
FINE
The resolution setting for documents with very
small characters and lines.
`
G
G3, Group 3 fax machine
Defined by CCITT. Uses encoding schemes to
transmit image data while reducing the amount
of data that needs to be transmitted, thus
reducing transmission time. G3 fax machines
can transmit one page in less than one minute.
Encoding schemes for G3 fax machines are
Modified Huffman (MH), Modified READ
(MR), and Modified Modified READ (MMR).
Group dialling
A dialling method that enables you to dial up
to 115 registered one-touch speed dialling or
coded speed dialling numbers together as a
group. This means that you can press just one
or three buttons to enter numbers when
sending the same document to many
destinations.
`
H
Halftone
Using this method, the FAX-L250 produces
shades of grey by mapping dots to be printed.
`
J
Jack
The telephone receptacles on your wall or on
your FAX-L250 used to connect the
FAX-L250 to the telephone line, answering
machine, optional handset, or telephone.
`
M
Manual receiving
A method of receiving faxes in which you
answer all incoming calls using the handset. If
you hear a slow beep it indicates an incoming
fax transmission from another machine. Just
press the (START/COPY) button to receive
the incoming fax.
Manual redialling
When you use Regular dialling, you can redial
a number manually simply by pressing the
REDIAL/PAUSE button on the the operation
panel. The last number called is the number
redialled.
Memory broadcast
Allows you to send a scanned fax to as many
as 117 locations at once, using a combination
of one-touch speed dialling, coded speed
dialling, or regular dialling.
