The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information 

associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks, 

such as the Internet.

A dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head 

that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an 

ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter.

Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for 

scanning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher 

resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.

Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone 

company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to 

answer several different telephone numbers.

A mechanism that will automatically turn over a sheet of paper so that 

the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer 

equipped with a Duplex Unit can print on both sides of paper during one 

print cycle.

Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer 

performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation 

such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of 

print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty 

cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer 

limits 2,400 pages a day.

Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into 

Class 1 fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and 

corrects errors in the fax transmission process that are sometimes 

caused by telephone line noise.

Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as 

another.
An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different 

system, so that the second system behaves like the first system. 

Emulation focuses on exact reproduction of external behavior, which is 

in contrast to simulation, which concerns an abstract model of the 

system being simulated, often considering its internal state.

Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local 

area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical 

layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control 

(MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized 

as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most widespread LAN technology in 

use during the 1990s to the present.

A suite of protocols developed by Apple Computer for computer 

networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984) and is now 

deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking. 

Foreign Device Interface (FDI) is a card installed inside the machine to 

allow a third party device such as a coin operated device or a card 

reader. Those devices allow the pay-for-print service on your machine.

A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a commonly used protocol for 

exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol 

(such as the Internet or an intranet).

The part of a laser printer that fuses the toner onto the print media. It 

consists of a heat roller and a pressure roller. After toner is transferred 

onto the paper, the fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that 

the toner stays on the paper permanently, which is why paper is warm 

when it comes out of a laser printer.

A connection between computer networks, or between a computer 

network and a telephone line. It is very popular, as it is a computer or a 

network that allows access to another computer or network.

A shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image 

when color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented 

by various shades of gray.

An image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of dots. 

Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter 

areas consist of a smaller number of dots.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD), commonly referred to as a hard drive or hard 

disk, is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally-encoded data 

on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an 

international non-profit, professional organization for the advancement 

of technology related to electricity.

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).
