Glossary
AppleTalk A suite of protocols that Apple Computer developed in 1984 for computer networking, not supported
by this printer. Apple now recommends TCP/IP networking instead.
Bonjour Apple Computer's trade name for its implementation of the IETF Zeroconf specification framework, a
computer network technology used in Apple's Mac OS X from version 10.2 onwards. It is used to discover services
available on a local area network. It was originally known as Rendezvous.
Color accuracy The ability to print colors that match the original image as closely as possible, bearing in mind
that all devices have a limited color gamut and may not be physically capable of matching certain colors precisely.
Color consistency The ability to print the same colors from a particular print job from print to print and from
printer to printer.
Color model A system of representing colors by numbers, such as RGB or CMYK.
Color space A color model in which each color is represented by a specific set of numbers. Many different color
spaces can use the same color model: for instance, monitors generally use the RGB color model, but they have
different color spaces, because a particular set of RGB numbers results in different colors on different monitors.
Cutter A printer component that slides back and forth across the platen to cut the paper.
ESD ElectroStatic Discharge. Static electricity is common in daily life. It is the spark when touching the car door,
or the cling of clothing. Although controlled static electricity has some useful applications, uncontrolled electrostatic
discharges are one of the main hazards to the electronics products. Therefore, to prevent damage some
precautions are needed when setting up the product, or handling ESD sensitive devices. This type of damage may
reduce the life expectancy of the device. One way to minimize uncontrolled ESDs, and therefore reduce this type
of damage is by touching any exposed grounded part of the product (mainly metal parts) before handling ESD
sensitive devices (such as the printheads or ink cartridges). Additionally, to reduce the generation of electrostatic
charge in your body try to avoid working in a carpeted area, and keep your body movements to a minimum when
handling ESD sensitive devices. Also, avoid working in low humidity environments.
Ethernet A popular computer networking technology for local area networks.
Firmware Software that controls your printer's functionality and is stored semi-permanently in the printer (it can
be updated).
Gamut The range of colors and density values reproducible on an output device, such as a printer or monitor.
Gloss enhancer A clear fluid that improves gloss uniformity and eliminates bronzing as an image quality issue
on photo papers. It is not used on matte papers.
I/O Input/Output: this term describes the passing of data between one device and another.
ICC The International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed on a common standard for color
profiles.
Ink cartridge A removable printer component that stores ink of a particular color and provides it to the printhead.
IP address A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on a TCP/IP network. It consists of four integers
separated by dots.
