Glossary AppleTalkA suite of protocols that Apple Computer developed in 1984 for computer networking. Apple now recommends TCP/IP networking instead. BonjourApple Computers trade name for its implementation of the IETF Zeroconf specification framework, a computer network technology used in Apples Mac OS X from version 10.2 onwards. It is used to discover services available on a local area network. It was originally known as Rendezvous. Color accuracyThe ability to print colors that match the original image as closely as possible, bearing in mind that all devices have a limited color gamut and may not be physically capable of matching certain colors precisely. Color consistencyThe ability to print the same colors from a particular print job from print to print and from printer to printer. Color modelA system of representing colors by numbers, such as RGB or CMYK. Color spaceA color model in which each color is represented by a specific set of numbers. Many different color spaces can use the same color model: for instance, monitors generally use the RGB color model, but they have different color spaces, because a particular set of RGB numbers results in different colors on different monitors. CutterA printer component that slides back and forth across the platen to cut the paper. ESDElectroStatic Discharge. Static electricity is common in daily life. It is the spark when touching the car door, or the cling of clothing. Although controlled static electricity has some useful applications, uncontrolled electrostatic discharges are one of the main hazards to the electronics products. Therefore, to prevent damage some precautions are needed when setting up the product, or handling ESD sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device. One way to minimize uncontrolled ESDs, and therefore reduce this type of damage is by touching any exposed grounded part of the product (mainly metal parts) before handling ESD sensitive devices (such as the printheads or ink cartridges). Additionally, to reduce the generation of electrostatic charge in your body try to avoid working in a carpeted area, and keep your body movements to a minimum when handling ESD sensitive devices. Also, avoid working in low humidity environments. EthernetA popular computer networking technology for local area networks. FirmwareSoftware that controls your printers functionality and is stored semi-permanently in the printer (it can be updated). GamutThe range of colors and density values reproducible on an output device, such as a printer or monitor. HP-GL/2Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language 2: a language defined by HP to describe vector graphics. I/OInput/Output: this term describes the passing of data between one device and another. ICCThe International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed on a common standard for color profiles. Ink cartridgeA removable printer component that stores ink of a particular color and provides it to the printhead. IP addressA unique identifier that identifies a particular node on a TCP/IP network. It consists of four integers separated by dots. ENWWGlossary 167
JetdirectHPs brand name for its series of print servers that allow a printer to be connected directly to a local area network. LEDLight-Emitting Diode: a semiconductor device that emits light when electrically stimulated. MAC addressMedia Access Control address: a unique identifier used to identify a particular device on a network. It is a lower-level identifier than the IP address. Thus, a device may have both a MAC address and an IP address. NozzleOne of many tiny holes in a printhead through which ink is deposited onto the paper. PaperA thin, flat material made to be written or printed on; most commonly made from fibers of some kind which are pulped, dried, and pressed. PlatenThe flat surface within the printer over which the paper passes while it is being printed on. Printer driverSoftware that converts a print job in a generalized format into data suitable for a particular printer. PrintheadA removable printer component that takes ink of one or more colors from the corresponding ink cartridge(s) and deposits it on the paper, through a cluster of nozzles. In the HP Designjet Z2100 Photo series, each printhead prints two different colors. RendezvousApple Computers original name for its networking software later known as Bonjour. SpindleA rod that supports a roll of paper while it is being used for printing. TCP/IPTransmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: the communications protocols on which the Internet is based. USBUniversal Serial Bus: a standard serial bus designed to connect devices to computers. 168 GlossaryENWW
