Term Definition
10Base-T/100Base-
TX/1000Base-T An Ethernet standard, which is a cable consisting of twisted copper wire pairs. The
transmission speed of 10Base-T is 10 Mbps, of 100Base-TX is 100 Mbps, and of
1000Base-T is 1000 Mbps.
Adobe ® Flash ® Software developed by Adobe Systems, Inc. (formaly developed by Macromedia,
Inc.), and used to create data combining vector-graphic animation and sound, and
the format of this data file. The bidirectional content can be manipulated using a key-
board and a mouse. The files can be kept relatively compact, and they can be ac-
cessed with the Web browser plug-in.
anonymous FTP While normal FTP sites are protected by an account name and password, this type
of FTP site can be used by anyone without a password by simply entering "anony-
mous" as the account name.
Auto IP A function for automatically acquiring the IP address. If acquisition of the IP address
failed with DHCP, an IP address is acquired from the address space of 169.254.0.0.
bit Abbreviation for Binary Digit. The smallest unit of information (data quantity) on a
computer or printer. Displays data using 0 or 1.
Bit-mapped Font Fonts that are represented by a set of dots to form the character. Dithering may oc-
cur if the character size is increased.
BMP Abbreviation for Bitmap. A file format for saving image data which uses the .bmp ex-
tension. Commonly used on Windows platforms. You can specify the color depth
from monochrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 colors). Images are not usually
compressed when saved.
Byte Unit of information (data quantity) on a computer or printer. Configured as 1 byte
equals 8 bits.
Compact PDF Compression method for reducing the data amount using the PDF format when con-
verting color documents to data.
The highest compression efficiency is achieved by identifying the text and image re-
gions and using the resolution and compression method most appropriate for each
region.
The compact PDF format can be selected when converting documents to data using
the scanning functions of this machine.
Contrast The difference in intensity between the light and dark parts of the image (light/dark
variation). An image with little light/dark variation is said to have a low contrast, and
an image with large light/dark variation is said to have a high contrast.
Default The initial settings. The settings first selected when the machine is turned on, or the
settings first specified when the function is selected.
Default Gateway A device, such as a computer or router, used as a "gateway" to access computers
not on the same LAN
Density An indication of the amount of darkness in the image
Density Adjustment The function that adjusts the color tones of an output device, such as a printer or
monitor
DHCP Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol in which a client
computer on a TCP/IP network automatically specifies the network settings from the
server. With collective management of the IP address for DHCP clients on the DHCP
server, you can avoid duplication of an address and you can build a network easily.
Dither A method of using only black and white to create the illusion of different shades of
gray. The process is simpler than with error diffusion; however, some irregularities
may occur.
DNS Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A system that acquires the supported IP ad-
dresses from host names in a network environment. DNS allows the user to access
other computers over a network by specifying host names, instead of difficult to
memorize and understand IP addresses.
DPI (dpi) Abbreviation for Dots Per Inch. A resolution unit used by printers and scanners. Indi-
cates how many dots per inch are represented in an image. The higher the value, the
higher the resolution.
Driver Software that works as a bridge between a computer and a peripheral device.
Ethernet LAN transmission line standard
File Extension The characters added to the file name in order to differentiate file formats. The file
extension is added after a period, for example, ".bmp" or ".jpg".
FTP Abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol. A protocol for transferring files over the Inter-
net or an intranet on the TCP/IP network.
