IEEE

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an international non-profit, professional organization for

the advancement of technology related to electricity.

IEEE 1284

The 1284 parallel port standard was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The

term "1284-B" refers to a specific connector type on the end of the parallel cable that attaches to the peripheral (for

example, a printer).

Intranet

A private network that uses Internet Protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunication

system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Sometimes the term

refers only to the most visible service, the internal website.

IP address

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each

other on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard.

IPM

The Images Per Minute (IPM) is a way of measuring the speed of a printer. An IPM rate indicates the number of

single-sided sheets a printer can complete within one minute.

IPP

The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) defines a standard protocol for printing as well as managing print jobs, media

size, resolution, and so forth. IPP can be used locally or over the Internet to hundreds of printers, and also supports

access control, authentication, and encryption, making it a much more capable and secure printing solution than older

ones.

IPX/SPX

IPX/SPX stands for Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange. It is a networking protocol used by the

Novell NetWare operating systems. IPX and SPX both provide connection services similar to TCP/IP, with the IPX

protocol having similarities to IP, and SPX having similarities to TCP. IPX/SPX was primarily designed for local area

networks (LANs), and is a very efficient protocol for this purpose (typically its performance exceeds that of TCP/IP on

a LAN).

ISO

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of

representatives from national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and commercial standards.

ITU-T

The International Telecommunication Union is an international organization established to standardize and regulate

international radio and telecommunications. Its main tasks include standardization, allocation of the radio spectrum,

and organizing interconnection arrangements between different countries to allow international phone calls. A -T out

of ITU-T indicates telecommunication.

ITU-T No. 1 chart

Standardized test chart published by ITU-T for document facsimile transmissions.

JBIG

Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group (JBIG) is an image compression standard with no loss of accuracy or quality, which

was designed for compression of binary images, particularly for faxes, but can also be used on other images.

JPEG

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is a most commonly used standard method of lossy compression for
