							A  private  network that  uses  Internet  Protocols,  network connectivity, and  possibly the public  telecommunication
system  to  securely share  part of an organizations 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.

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.
MFP
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.
MH
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.
MMR
Modified  Modified  READ  (MMR) is a  compression method recommended by ITU -T  T.6.
Modem
A  device that  modulates a  carrier  signal  to  encode digital information, and  also  demodulates  such a  carrier  signal
to  decode transmitted information.
MR
Modified  Read  (MR)  is a  compression method recommended by ITU -T  T.4. MR encodes  the first scanned line  using
MH. The  next line  is compared to  the first, the differences determined,  and  then  the differences are encoded  and
transmitted.
NetWare
A  network operating  system  developed by Novell, Inc.  It initially  used cooperative  multitasking  to  run  various
services on a  PC, and  the network protocols were  based on the archetypal  Xerox XNS stack. Today NetWare
supports  TCP/IP as well as IPX/SPX.
OPC
Organic  Photo  Conductor (OPC) is a  mechanism that  makes a  virtual  image for print  using  a  laser  beam emitted
from  a  laser  printer, and  it  is usually  green or gray colored and  a  cylinder  shaped.
An exposing unit  of a  drum is slowly  worn away  by its  usage of the printer, and  it  should be replaced
appropriately since it  gets scratches from  grits of a  paper.

The  first example  of something, such as a  document,  photograph  or text,  etc, which is copied,  reproduced  or
translated to  produce  others, but which is not itself copied or derived from  something  else.
OSI

miscellaneous  communications between  nodes on a  network.  It also  provides  an authenticated Inter-process
communication mechanism.
SMTP
Simple  Mail Transfer  Protocol (SMTP) is the standard  for e -mail transmissions across  the Internet. SMTP is a
relatively simple, text-based protocol,  where one  or more  recipients  of a  message  are specified, and  then  the
message  text is transferred. It is a  client -server protocol,  where the client  transmits an email message  to  the
server.
SSID
Service  Set  Identifier  (SSID) is a  name of a  wireless  local  area network (WLAN). All wireless  devices in a  WLAN
use the same  SSID in order  to  communicate with each  other.  The  SSIDs are case-sensitive and  have  a  maximum

implement  the protocol stack on which the Internet  and  most commercial  networks  run.
TCR
Transmission  Confirmation Report  (TCR)  provides  details of each  transmission such as job status,  transmission
result  and  number of pages sent.  This report can  be set  to  print  after each  job or only  after failed transmissions.
TIFF
Tagged  Image File Format (TIFF)  is a  variable-resolution bitmapped image format. TIFF  describes image data that
typically come  from  scanners. TIFF  images  make  use of tags,  keywords  defining  the characteristics of the image
that  is included  in the file.  This flexible and  platform-independent format  can  be used for pictures that  have  been
made by various image processing  applications.
Toner Cartridge
A  kind of bottle within  a  machine like printer which contains  toner.  Toner is a  powder  used in laser  printers and
photocopiers, which forms the text and  images  on the printed paper. Toner can  be melted by the heat of the
fuser, causing it  to  bind to  the fibers in the paper.
TWAIN

the resource is located.
USB
Universal Serial  Bus  (USB)  is a  standard  that  was  developed by the USB  Implementers  Forum, Inc., to  connect

USB  port to  multiple peripherals.
Watermark
A  watermark  is a  recognizable image or pattern  in paper that  appears lighter when  viewed by transmitted light.
Watermarks were  first introduced in Bologna, Italy  in 1282; they have  been  used by papermakers to  identify their
product,  and  also  on postage stamps, currency, and  other government documents to  discourage  counterfeiting.
WEP
Wired Equivalent  Privacy  (WEP) is a  security protocol specified in IEEE 802.11 to  provide the same  level of
security as that  of a  wired LAN.  WEP provides  security by encrypting data over radio  so that  it  is protected  as it  is
transmitted from  one  end  point  to  another.
WIA
Windows Imaging Architecture  (WIA)  is an imaging  architecture  that  is originally introduced in Windows Me  and
Windows XP. A  scan  can  be initiated from  within  these operating  systems by using  a  WIA -compliant scanner.

WPA -PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key)  is special mode of WPA  for small business or home users. A  shared key, or
password,  is configured in the wireless  access  point  (WAP)  and  any wireless  laptop or desktop devices.  WPA -PSK
generates a  unique key  for each  session  between  a  wireless  client  and  the associated  WAP  for more  advanced
security.
