ECM
Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into Class 1 
fax machines or fax modems. It automa tically detects and corrects errors in the 
fax transmission process that are some times caused by telephone line noise.
Emulation
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 be havior, which is in contrast to simulation, which 
concerns an abstract model of the system  being simulated, often considering its 
internal state.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a frame-based  computer networking technology for local area 
networks (LANs). It defines wiring and si gnaling for the physical layer, and frame 
formats and protocols for the media acc ess control (MAC)/data link layer of the 
OSI model. Ethernet is mostly  standardized as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most 
widespread LAN technolo gy in use during the 1990s to the present.

Fuser Unit 
The part of a laser printer th at fuses the toner onto the print media. It consists of 
a heat roller and a pressure  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.
