15.5 Glossary 15
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 automatically 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 conflicts or other troubles.
Dialing Method There are three Dialing methods: PB (push-button dialing), 10PPS (pulse dialing
/10 pps), and 20PPS (pulse dialing /20 pps).
Dither A method of presenting the quasi-shading of gray using black and white colors.
This method is easier to process than error diffusion, but may stir some uneven-
ness on the image.
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 net-
work 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.
Driver Software that works as a bridge between a computer and a peripheral device.
DSN The acronym for Delivery Status Notifications, which is a delivery status notifica-
tion message being returned from a receiver to a sender when the E-mail is de-
livered to the receiver's mail server.
Dynamic authentica-
tion (LDAP setting) An authentication method option used when connecting to a LDAP server form a
multifunctional product. Select this option if you want an user to enter the login
name and password each time the user logs on the LDAP server to refer to des-
tination information.
ECM The acronym for Error Correction Mode.
An error resending method used for G3 communication. ECM checks whether the
data is correctly sent to the destination, and should it be not the case, ECM re-
sends the same data while maintains the serial communication. If a receiver also
provides the ECM mode, this machine uses the ECM-based communication with
the receiver unless the ECM mode is disabled.
Erase A function of erasing dark shadow around the document before transmitting it via
fax, when scanning a booklet form document or a document with ADF kept open.
Ethernet LAN transmission line standard.
F-Code A communication procedure related to the usage of subaddress of T.30* stand-
ardized by ITU-T (international telecommunication union).F code is provided by
Japanese Communications Industrial Corporation. Various kinds of capabilities
are available for the communication among fax machines with the F code func-
tion irrespective of difference of the fax machine brand. This machine uses F code
for the bulletin boards, relay request, confidential communication, and password
transmission. (* a communication standard)
File extension Characters added to a file name for the recognition of the file format. The file ex-
tension is added after a dot of a file name, for example, ".bmp" or ".jpg".
Forced memory re-
ception A function to store received documents in memory, and print them when re-
quired.
Frame type A type of communication format used in NetWare environments.
For mutual communication, the same frame type is required.
FTP The acronym for File Transfer Protocol, which is used to transfer files via the In-
ternet, intranet or other TCP/IP network.
G3 A fax communication mode standardized by the ITU-T (International Telecommu-
nication Union). G3 and G4 are provided for the communication modes. Today,
G3 is more widely used than G4.
Gateway Hardware and software used as the point where a network is connected to a net-
work. A gateway not only connects networks but also changes data formats, ad-
dresses, and protocols according to the connected networks.
Gradation The shading levels of an image. Larger number of the levels can reproduce
smoother transition of the shading.
