your fax machine, the machine will store
incoming fax transmissions in its memory.

versa. Analogue telephone lines transfer
only acoustic signals, not digital signals
(see Hard Modem, see Soft Modem).
Outside Line Access Code:  e outside
line access code is the number or letter that

work from a private branch exchange, one
must dial a number or press a key before
the actual telephone number; in most cases
this is zero (see Outside Line Access Code).
Pulse Dialling: see Tone Dialling
Resolution: Number of dots per inch (dpi).
For sending and receiving faxes, the reso-
lution options available are Normal, Fine,
SFine and Photo. For copying, the avail-
able resolutions are Fast, Quality and Pho-

takes to complete the transmission.
Scanning:  e reading of a document into
the fax memory or into the computer in
order to send it, copy it or edit it.
