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 melts the toner onto the print media. It 

consists of a hot roller and a back-up 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). 

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.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

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.

Standardized test chart published by ITU-T for document facsimile 

transmissions.

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.
