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.

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is a most commonly used 

standard method of lossy compression for photographic images. It is the 

format used for storing and transmitting photographs on the World Wide 

Web.

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a networking 

protocol for querying and modifying directory services running over 

TCP/IP.

A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates 

the status of a machine.

Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier associated 

with a network adapter. MAC address is a unique 48-bit identifier usually 

written as 12 hexadecimal characters grouped in pairs (e. g., 

00-00-0c-34-11-4e). This address is usually hard-coded into a Network 

Interface Card (NIC) by its manufacturer, and used as an aid for routers 

trying to locate machines on large networks.

Multi Function Peripheral (MFP) is an office machine that includes the 

following functionality in one physical body, so as to have a printer, a 

copier, a fax, a scanner and etc.

Modified Huffman (MH) is a compression method for decreasing the 

amount of data that needs to be transmitted between the fax machines 

to transfer the image recommended by ITU-T T.4. MH is a 

codebook-based run-length encoding scheme optimized to efficiently 

compress white space. As most faxes consist mostly of white space, this 

minimizes the transmission time of most faxes.
