glossary

The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by

understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well
as mentioned in this user’s guide.

802.11

802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN)

communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards

Committee (IEEE 802).

802.11b/g

802.11b/g can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps; 802.11g up to 54 Mbps.

802.11b/g devices may occasionally suffer interference from microwave

ovens, cordless telephones, and Bluetooth devices.

Access point

Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that
connects wireless communication devices together on wireless local

area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of

WLAN radio signals.

ADF

An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will

automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can

scan some amount of the paper at once.

AppleTalk

AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for
computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984)

and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.

BIT Depth

A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to

represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color
depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits

increases, the number of possible colors becomes impractically large for

a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and
white.

BMP

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows

graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file

format on that platform.

BOOTP

Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to
obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap

process of computers or operating systems running on them. The

BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each
client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP

address prior to loading any advanced operating system.

CCD

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan

job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to
prevent any damage when you move the machine.

Collation

Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When

collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing

additional copies.

Control Panel

A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or
monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of

the machine.

Coverage

It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing.

For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5%
image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or

lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a

toner usage will be as much as the coverage.

CSV

Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to
exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is

used in Microsoft Excel, has become a pseudo standard throughout the

industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.

DADF

A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a mechanism that will
automatically feed and flip over an original sheet of paper so that the

machine can scan on both sides of the paper.

Default

The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box
state, reset, or initialized.

DHCP

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server

networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters

specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information
required by the client host to participate on an IP network. DHCP also

provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts.

DIMM

Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds

memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data,
received fax data.
