AppleTalk

A suite of protocols that Apple Computer developed in 1984 for computer networking. Apple now recommends

TCP/IP and Bonjour networking instead. HP Designjet products no longer support AppleTalk.

Bonjour

Apple Computer's trade name for its implementation of the IETF Zeroconf specification framework, a computer

network technology used in Apple's 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 accuracy

The 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 consistency

The ability to print the same colors from a particular print job from print to print and from printer to printer.

Color model

A system of representing colors by numbers, such as RGB or CMYK.

Color space

A 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.

Cutter

A printer component that slides back and forth across the platen to cut the paper.

ESD

ElectroStatic 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 electronic products. Therefore, to prevent damage some precautions

are needed when setting up the printer, 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 printer (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.

Ethernet

A popular computer networking technology for local area networks.

Fast Ethernet

An Ethernet network capable of transferring data at up to 100,000,000 bits/second. Fast Ethernet interfaces are

capable of negotiating slower speeds when required for compatibility with older Ethernet devices.

Firmware

Software that controls your printer's functionality and is stored semi-permanently in the printer (it can be updated).
