Glossary

Access Point: Central access point in a
WLAN. All network devices must reg-
ister themselves with the access point
to be able to communicate with other
devices in the network. All devices send
the data to the access point, which dis-
tributes the data within the network.
Active Fax Switch: The passive fax
switch distinguishes incoming calls ac-
cording to fax transmissions and other
calls based on the calling tone (CNG
signal, 1100 Hertz). The active fax
switch also controls the ring behaviour
of the devices and coordinates exter-
nally connected devices (see Addition-
al Devices, see Fax Switch).
Active Sensing: General term for the
active control and coordination of ex-
ternally connected devices. With active
sensing, the multifunction machine
detects additional devices connected
in parallel and in series and forwards
voice calls and messages to these de-
vices.
Additional Devices: You can con-
nect additional devices to your fax
machine, such as answering machines,
telephones, charge meters and compu-
ter 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 de-
vices to the external socket of your fax
machine, they are connected in series.
The active fax switch of your machine
can control devices that are connected
in serial or in parallel.
Ad-Hoc-Network: see Network
Automatic Redial: If the subscriber
is busy, your machine will dial the
number again after a specified inter-
val).
Bluetooth: Standard for wireless trans-
mission of data over a distance up to
approximately ten meters. With the
OBEX protocol (Object Exchange
Appendix
Protocol) you can transfer files unidi-
rectionally from Bluetooth-capable de-
vices to your multifunction machine.
Broadcasting: With this function you
can send a message to multiple fax re-
cipients.
Calling Line Identification Pres-
entation (CLIP): see Identification
Presentation
Call-by-Call: It is possible to place tele-
phone calls through different private
service providers. With prefixes added
before the actual telephone number,
each telephone call can be placed
through a different provider.
Chain Dialling: see Combining Num-
bers
CNG Tone (Calling Signal): A tone
(CalliNG) with which a fax transmis-
sion is announced. When the CNG
tone occurs, the fax switch of the de-
vice recognises an incoming fax call
and starts the fax reception.
Combining Numbers (Chain Dial-
ling): You can individually combine
and edit telephone book entries, man-
ually entered numbers and numbers
from the redial list before starting the
actual dialling process. For example, if
you have saved the prefix of an inex-
pensive telephone provider (see Call-
by-Call) as a telephone book entry,
select this entry and enter the desired
telephone number.
Crystal Image: An image and text
enhancement function developed spe-
cially for your multifunction machine
for printing and copying your black-
and-white and colour documents.
Dialling Pause: Long-distance num-
bers or telephone numbers with sub-
addresses/extensions sometimes re-
quire the insertion of a dialling pause
to prevent the dialling from occurring
too quickly and resulting in a loss of
the connection.
Dongle: see Wireless Adapter
Easylink: Coordinates externally con-
nected telephones on the same line
(forwarding voice calls, starting fax
reception, etc.)—see also Additional
Devices.
E.C.M (Error Correction Mode):
Reduces transmission errors that result
from poor line quality, thereby reduc-
ing the transmission time. Both of the
connected fax machines must support
E.C.M.
Encoding: A process with which the in-
formation of a fax transmission is en-
coded and compressed. The minimum
standard is MH (Modified Huffmann).
Your multifunction machine uses
the superior encoding processes MR
(Modified Read) and MMR (Modified
Modified Read) as long as the other
machine also supports these modes.
Encryption: Security for the transmit-
ting of network data (see also WEP
Standard).
Energy Saving Mode: After not be-
ing used for about two minutes, the
machine switches to the energy saving
mode. If the device is called (e. g. by a
fax transmission) or if you would like
to create a printout or a copy, the ma-
chine activates the starting mode.
EXIF-Information: Detailed image
information about your photos (e.g.
recording time, aperture, exposure).
Almost all modern digital cameras
support the EXIF standard.
Fax Groups: Fax machines are classified
in terms of internationally standard-
ised fax groups based on their transfer
type and speed. Connections between
two devices of different groups is pos-
sible; the lowest common transfer rate
is selected. The determination of the
speed takes place during the hand-
shake. 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
