Glossary

 Additional Devices:

 You can connect ad-

ditional devices to your fax machine, such 
as answering machines, telephones, charge 
meters and computer modems; these can 
be connected either in series or in parallel. 
Parallel connection means that the devices 
are connected to another telephone socket 
of the same line. If you connect the devices 
to the external socket of your fax machine, 
they are connected in series. Th

  e fax switch 

of your device can control and regulate 
only devices connected in series.

 Broadcasting:

 With this function, you can 

send a fax or an SMS message to multiple 
recipients.

 Call Toggling:

 You can switch back and 

forth between diff erent telephone conver-
sations by using the 

R/PAUSE

 key. Th

 e 

inactive telephone conversation is main-
tained in the interim, and the other party 
cannot listen in. Th

 is additional service 

must be enabled for your telephone line 
(see Call Waiting, see Flash Key).

 Call Waiting:

 If another caller places a call 

to you while you are having a telephone 
conversation, you will hear a tone and the 
symbol 

I

 will appear on the display. If 

additional services are enabled for your 
telephone connection, you can toggle back 
and forth between diff erent telephone calls 
(see Flash Key; see Call Toggling).

 Call-by-Call:

 Selection of the telephone 

service provider for each telephone call. It 
is possible to place telephone calls through 
diff erent private service providers. By plac-
ing prefi xes in front of the actual telephone 
number, one can choose a diff erent service 
provider for each telephone call without 
entering into a fi rm contract relationship 
(see Chain Dialling).

Caller Identification ( 

Calling Line 

Identification Presentation,  CLIP):

Th

  ere are two types of caller identifi cation. 

If someone calls you, your fax machine 
will show the caller’s telephone number 
on the display. If you call someone, the 
machine will send the number so that 
your telephone number will be shown to 

the person whom you are calling. Your 
telephone company must off er both serv-
ices and must enable them for your PTT 
line. Th

  e transmission of your telephone 

number can be turned on and off  tempo-
rarily or it can be turned off  permanently 
(Calling Line Identifi cation  Restriction, 
CLIR).

 Caller List:

 Th

  e numbers of the last ten call-

ers are stored in the caller list. Th

 is func-

tion requires that the caller identifi cation 
function be enabled for your PTT line and 
that the caller not suppress the transmis-
sion of his or her telephone number (see 
Caller Identifi cation).

tion (CLIP):

 Chain Dialling:

 Before the dialling process 

begins, you can freely combine and edit 
telephone book entries, manually entered 
digits, numbers from the redial list or 
numbers from the caller list. For example, 
if you have saved the telephone number 
prefi x of an inexpensive telephone service-
provider (see Call-by-Call) as a telephone 
book entry, select this entry and manually 
enter the desired telephone number or se-
lect another number from the telephone 
book, the redial list or the caller list.

 Dialling Pause:

 see Fax Polling

Direct-Dial Number (also  

Exten-

sion):

 Number used to directly dial a 

specifi c extension of a private branch ex-
change (see Private Branch Exchange). 

Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF):

see Tone Dialling

 Encoding:

  Th

 e data of your fax transmis-

sion are encoded and compressed for the 
transmission. Th

 e minimum standard is 

MH (Modifi ed Huff mann). Better encod-
ing methods are MR (Modifi ed Read) or 
MMR (Modifi ed Modifi ed Read).

 Energy Saving Mode:

  Th

 e laser fax 

machine is normally in the energy save 
mode. Whenever you receive a fax or if 
you would like to print or make a copy, 
your fax machine will automatically switch 
back into operating mode (see Warm-Up 
Phase).

 Error Correction Mode (ECM):

  Th

 e 

ECM method reduces transmission er-
rors that result, for example, from bad 
telephone lines, thereby reducing the du-
ration of transmissions. Both of the con-
nected fax machines must support ECM.

 Fax Groups:

 Fax machines are classifi ed in 

terms of internationally standardised fax 
groups based on their transfer type and 
speed. Connections between two devices 
of diff erent groups is possible; the lowest 
common transfer rate is selected. Th

 e de-

termination of the speed takes place dur-
ing the handshake (see Handshake). Fax 
groups 1 to 3 are analogue fax machines. 
Nowadays, groups 1 and 2 are hardly to be 
found any longer; fax machines of group 
3—which have a transfer speed that ranges 
from 9,600 to 33,600 bps—are currently 
most standard. Group 4 fax machines are 
digital devices that function exclusively on 
ISDN systems. Th

 ey have a maximum 

transfer speed of 64,000 bps.

Fax  

Polling:

 With active fax polling, one 

can retrieve a document from another 
fax machine. For fax polling from a larger 
company off ering several polling services, 
you can also enter sub-addresses / direct-
dial numbers. In order to do this, you 
must insert a dialling pause between the 
fax number and the sub-address.

Fax Signal, also  

CNG Tone  (Calling 

Signal): 

Th

 e tone that a fax machine 

sends out to announce a fax transmis-
sion. When the CNG tone occurs, the fax 
switch of the device recognises an incom-
ing fax call and starts the fax reception. 

 Fax Switch:

 Th

  e fax switch checks incoming 

telephone calls and controls the ringing be-
haviour of the fax machine. According to 
the selected mode, fax transmissions will be 
received either automatically or manually.

  Flash Key (R/PAUSE Key):

 With the 

fl ash key, you can make use of additional 
telephone services if these special func-
tions are enabled for your telephone line. 
Th

 e 

R/PAUSE

 key has replaced the 

hook-fl ash function (see Call Waiting, see 
Call Toggling).

 Handshake:

  Th

 e handshake is the initial 

and fi nal phase of a fax transmission. 
After establishing of the connection, 
fax machines check the group affi

  liation 

and features such as size compression or
