Software or its file format developed by Adobe Systems Inc. (formerly by Macro-
media, Inc.), used to create a content by compiling vector-graphic animations
and sounds.
The software allows handling interactive contents using keyboard or mouse. The
files can be kept relatively compact and accessed from a Web browser with ded-
icated plug-in software.
AppleTalk The generic name for the protocol suite developed by Apple Computer for com-
puter networking.
bit The abbreviation for binary digit. The smallest unit of information (data quantity)
handled by a computer or printer. A bit uses only a 0 or a 1 to indicate data.
BMP The abbreviation for bitmap. This is a file format for saving image data. (The file
extension is ".bmp".)
Commonly used on Windows platforms. BMP covers the color depth from mon-
ochrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 colors). BMP images are not suitable
for compressed storage.
Bonjour A Macintosh network technology, automatically detecting a device connected to
the network for automatic configuration. Previously called "Rendezvous", and
has been changed to "Bonjour" since Mac OS X v10.4.
BOOTP The abbreviation for Bootstrap Protocol. The protocol is used for a client compu-
ter on the TCP/IP network to load network configuration automatically from a
server. Instead of BOOTP, DHCP, an advanced protocol based on BOOTP, is
typically used today.
Byte A byte indicates a unit of information (data quantity) handled by a computer or
printer. A byte consists of eight bits.
CMYK The acronym for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. The colors in the toner or ink

ers on different LANs.
DHCP The acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The protocol is used for
a client computer on the TCP/IP network to load network configuration automat-
ically from a server. Just using a DHCP server to centrally manage IP addresses
of the DHCP clients enables you to construct a network without IP address con-
flicts or other troubles.
DNS The acronym for Domain Name System. DNS allows for obtaining the IP address
corresponding to a host name in network environments. This system enables a
user to access other computers on the network by specifying host names instead
of elusive and non-intuitive IP addresses.
DPI (dpi) The acronym for Dots Per Inch. A unit of resolution used for printers and scan-
ners. This indicates the number of dots used to represent an inch. The higher this
value, the higher the resolution.
FTP The acronym for File Transfer Protocol. This is a protocol used for transferring
files via the Internet, an intranet or other TCP/IP network.
HTTP The acronym for HyperText Transfer Protocol. This is a protocol used to send or
receive data between a Web server and a client (such as a Web browser). HTTP
can exchange files such as images, sounds, and movies that are associated with
documents, including their presentation formats and other information.
IPP The acronym for Internet Printing Protocol. This is a protocol used to send or re-
ceive print data or control printers via the Internet or other TCP/IP network. IPP
can also send and print data to printers in remote areas via the Internet.
IPX One of the protocols used for NetWare. IPX runs in the network layer of the OSI
reference model.
