15.5 Glossary 15
LAN The acronym for Local Area Network, which is a network constructed by connect-
ing computers on the same floor, in the same building, or in neighboring build-
ings.
LDAP The acronym for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, which is a protocol used
to access a database that can manage E-mail addresses and environmental in-
formation of network users on the Internet, intranet, or other TCP/IP network.
LLMNR The acronym for Link-local Multicast Name Resolution,which is a protocol used
for the name resolution of neighboring computers. LLMNR uses simple exchange
of request and response messages to perform name resolution of neighboring
computers without configuring DNS server or clients.
LLTD The acronym for Link Layer Topology Discovery,which is a technology investigat-
ing how the devices on the network are connected.Network devices with this
technology are recognized by Windows Vista/Server 2008/7 on the network, and
displayed as icons configured on the network map of Windows Vista/7
Local printer A printer connected to a parallel or USB port of a computer.
Long Original A function to send original pages longer than the standard size. Long size docu-
ments can be sent by selecting this function.
LPD The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independent printer pro-
tocol running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol was originally developed for
BSD UNIX, and has become one of the printing protocols typically used among
general computers.
LPR/LPD The acronym for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. This is a printing
method implemented via networks, used for Windows NT or UNIX based sys-
tems. It uses TCP/IP to output printing data from Windows or UNIX to a printer
on the network.
MAC address MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control. A MAC address is an ID number
unique to each Ethernet card, enabling sending or receiving data to or from other
Ethernet cards. A Mac address consists of 48-bit numbers. The first 24 bits are
controlled by IEEE and used to allocate a unique number to each manufacture,
whereas the latter 24 bits are used by each manufacturer to assign a unique
number to each card.
Main Scanning The operation of scanning a document optically, and converting the document
into image data.
Main scanning di-
rection The horizontal direction for scanning originals.
Manual transmission An operation to send a fax while checking the status of the receiver.
MDN The acronym for Message Disposition Notifications,which is a message sent to
confirm that the mail has been unsealed, a response to a sender when the sender
requests for doing so.
Memory A storage device used for storing data temporarily.
Some types of memory retain data even after the power is turned off, while others
not.
Memory overflow A condition where the fax memory becomes full while scanned documents or
temporarily stored documents are saved.
Memory transmis-
sion A method used to start a fax transmission after scanning originals and storing
them in memory. If memory transmission is used, the total number of pages are
automatically printed in the page number of the transmission source information
and an image of the first page of the sent document is printed in the transmission
report. However, the memory may become full if the document contains many
pages, or there is a large amount of information due to high image quality.
MH The acronym for Modified Huffman, which is a data compression encoding meth-
od used for fax transmissions. Text-based originals are compressed to approxi-
mately 1/10 the original size.
MIB The acronym for Management Information Base, which defines the format of
management information for network devices that are collected using SNMP in
TCP/IP communication. Two types of MIB are provided, that is, the private MIB
specific to each manufacturer and the standardized MIB.
Mixed Original A function to set different sizes of originals, detect the size of each original, and
send them accordingly.
