<Glossary>

The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by 
understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing 
as well as mentioned in this user's guide.

An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will 

automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can 

scan some amount of the paper at once. 

AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc 

for computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh 

(1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP 

networking.

A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to 

represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher 

color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of 

bits increases, the number of possible colors becomes impractically 

large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome 

or black and white.

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft 

Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a 

simple graphics file format on that platform.

Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to 

obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the 

bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on 

them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of 

addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' 

computers to obtain an IP address prior to loading any advanced 

operating system.

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the 

scan job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD 

module to prevent any damage when you move the machine.

Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When 

collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing 

additional copies.

A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or 

monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in 

front of the machine. 

It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on 

printing. For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper 

has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has 

complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher 

and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the 

coverage.

Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used 

to exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as 

it is used in Microsoft Excel, has become a pseudo standard 

throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.

A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a mechanism that 

will automatically feed and flip over an original sheet of paper so that 

the machine can scan on both sides of the paper.

The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its 

box state, reset, or initialized.

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server 

networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration 

parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, 

information required by the client host to participate on an IP 

network. DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of IP 

addresses to client hosts.

Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds 

memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing 

data, received fax data.

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 flip 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 can print double-sided of paper.

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.
