group when a volume of sequential broadcast transmissions or sequential
pollings are distributed to the same destination addresses.
Hard disk A large capacity storage device for storing data. The data is retained even af-
ter the power is turned off.
Host name The name used to identify a device on a network.
HTTP The acronym for HyperText Transfer Protocol. This is a protocol used to send
or receive data between a Web server and a client (such as a Web browser).
HTTP can exchange files such as images, sounds, and movies that are asso-

IP Address An address or a code used to identify an individual network device on the
Internet. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), a protocol widely used today,
adopts a 32-bit number for an IP address separated into four sections. An ex-
ample of an IPv4 IP address is: 192.168.1.10. On the other hand, IPv6
(Internet Protocol version 6), the next generation protocol, adopts 128-bit IP
addresses. An IP address is assigned to every computer or other device con-
nected to the Internet.
IPP The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. This is a protocol used to send or
receive print data or control printers via the Internet or other TCP/IP network.
IPP can also send and print data to printers in remote areas via the Internet.

oped for BSD UNIX, and has become one of the printing protocols typically
used among general computers.
LPR/LPD The acronym for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. This is a printing
method implemented via networks, used for Windows NT or UNIX based
systems. It uses TCP/IP to output printing data from Windows or UNIX to a
printer on the network.
MAC address MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control. A MAC address is an ID
number unique to each Ethernet card, enabling sending or receiving data to
or from other Ethernet cards. A Mac address is a 48-bit number. The first 24
bits are controlled by IEEE and used to allocate a unique number to each
manufacture, whereas the latter 24 bits are used by each manufacturer to as-
sign a unique number to each card.
Main Scanning The operation of scanning a document optically, and converting the docu-
