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 dif-
ferent shades of gray. The process is simpler than with error diffu-
sion; however, some irregularities may occur.
DNS Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A system that acquires the
supported IP addresses 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 under-
stand IP addresses.
DPI (dpi) Abbreviation for Dots Per Inch. A resolution unit used by printers and
scanners. Indicates how many dots per inch are represented in an

over the Internet. A maximum of three digits for four numbers are
displayed such as 192.168.1.10. IP addresses are assigned to devic-
es, including computers, which are connected to the Internet.
JPEG Abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group. One of the file
formats for saving image data. (The file extension is “.jpg”.) The com-
pression ratio is roughly 1/10 to 1/100. This format uses an effective
method in the compression of continuous-tone images, such as
photographs.
