IPX/SPX Abbreviation for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange. A
protocol developed by Novell, Inc. that is commonly used under a NetWare environ-
ment.
IP Address A code (address) that is used to identify individual network devices over the Internet.
IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), widely spread today, is expressed such as
192.168.1.10 using 32-bit numbers divided into four. In the next generation IPv6 (In-
ternet Protocol version 6), 128-bit IP addresses are used. IP addresses are assigned
to devices, including computers, which are connected to the Internet.
IP Address Fax An IP address identifies various networked devices on the Internet. IP Address Fax
uses these addresses to transmit and receive faxes within an intranet.
Kerberos A type of network authentication system used by Windows 2000 or later. Used in Ac-
tive Directory authentication. Users can be safely and efficiently authenticated with a
two-phase authentication (user logon and network resource usage) on a dependable
site set up on the network.
LAN Abbreviation for Local Area Network. A network which connects computers on the
same floor, in the same building, or in neighboring buildings.
Local line Public telephone line supported by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation.
Local printer A printer connected to a parallel or USB port of a computer.
Long Document A setting for sending document pages longer than A3 size (420 mm/16-1/2 inch).
Long documents can be transmitted by specifying the setting for long originals.
LPD Abbreviation for Line Printer Daemon. A printer protocol that uses TCP/IP and is plat-
form-independent. LPD was originally developed for BSD UNIX, and it has become
the standard printing protocol that can be used with any computers.
LPR/LPD Abbreviation for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. A printing method over a
network in a Windows NT system or UNIX system. Using TCP/IP, you can output
print data from Windows or Unix to a printer over a network.
LDAP Abbreviation for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. On a TCP/ IP network, such
as the Internet or an intranet, this protocol is used to access a database for managing
environment information and the E-Mail addresses of network users.
MAC address Abbreviation for Media Access Control address. With a special ID number for each
Ethernet card, data can be sent and received between the cards. This number con-
sists of 48 bits. The first 24 bits consist of a number that represents a manufacture,
which is controlled and assigned by IEEE. The last 24 bits consist of a number that
the manufacturer assigns uniquely to the card.
Main scanning The operation of optically scanning the document and converting it to image data.
Main scanning direction This is the horizontal direction of scanned documents.
Manual transmission An operation to send a fax while checking the status of the receiving machine.
Memory Storage device for storing data temporally.
When the power is turned off the data may or may not be erased.
Memory overflow A condition where the fax memory becomes full while scanned documents or tem-
porarily stored documents are saved.
Memory transmission This is a procedure for starting a fax transmission after a document is scanned and
stored in the 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 there are many pages of the document or
if the data is large due to finely detailed images.
MDN Abbreviation for Message Disposition Notifications.
A delivery confirmation message that is sent back to the sender in response to such
as request.
MH Abbreviation for Modified Huffman. A data compression encoding method for fax
transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/10
their original size.
MIB Abbreviation for Management Information Base. In a TCP/IP transmission, MIB uses
SNMP to define the management information format for a group of network devices.
There are two formats: the manufacturer-specific private MIB and the standardized
MIB.
Mixed Original This is a function to detect and send various sizes of documents.
MMR Abbreviation for Modified Modified Read. A data compression encoding method for
fax transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/20
their original size.
Multi Page TIFF A TIFF file that has multiple pages.
