Term Description
10Base-T/100Base-
TX/1000Base-T A set specifications under the Ethernet standards.
Uses cables consisting of pairs of twisted copper wires. The transmission speed of
10Base-T is 10Mbps, of 100Base-TX is 100Mbps, and of 1000Base-T is 1,000 Mb-
ps.

Software developed by Adobe Systems Inc. (formerly developed by Macromedia,
Inc.), and used to create data combining vector-graphic animation and sound, and
the format of this data file. The bidirectional content can be manipulated using a
keyboard and a mouse. The files can be kept relatively compact, and they can be
accessed with the Web browser plug-in.
anonymous FTP While normal FTP sites are protected by an account name and password, this type
of FTP site can be used by anyone without a password by simply entering "anon-
ymous" as the account name.
Auto IP A function for automatically acquiring the IP address.
If acquisition of the IP address failed with DHCP, an IP address is acquired from
the address space of 169.254.0.0.
bit Abbreviation for Binary Digit. The smallest unit of information (data quantity) on a
computer or printer. Displays data using 0 or 1. Dithering may occur if the character
size is increased.
Bitmap Font A font that is displayed using a collection of dots. These look increasingly jagged
with larger font sizes.
BMP Abbreviation for Bitmap. A file format for saving image data which uses the .bmp
extension. Commonly used on Windows platforms. You can specify the color
depth from monochrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 colors). Images are not
usually compressed when saved.
Byte Unit of information (data quantity) on a computer or printer. Configured as 1 byte
equals 8 bits.
Compact PDF Compression method for reducing the data amount using the PDF format when
converting color documents to data.
The highest compression efficiency is achieved by identifying the text and image
regions and using the resolution and compression method most appropriate for
each region.
The compact PDF format can be selected when converting documents to data us-
ing the scanning functions of this machine.
Contrast The difference in intensity between the light and dark parts of the image (light/dark
variation). An image with little light/dark variation is said to have a low contrast, and
an image with large light/dark variation is said to have a high contrast.
Default The initial settings. The settings first selected when the machine is turned on, or the
settings first specified when the function is selected.
Default gateway A device, such as a computer or router, used as a gateway to access computers
not on the same LAN.
Density An indication of the amount of darkness in the image.
Density Compensation Color correction function used in output devices such as printers and displays.
DHCP Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol in which a client
computer on a TCP/IP network automatically specifies the network settings from
the server. With collective management of the IP address for DHCP clients on the
DHCP server, you can avoid duplication of an address and you can build a network
easily.
Dither One method of combining two colors to create an approximate representation of
shades of gray. Processing is easier than with error diffusion, but this can lead to
irregularities.
DNS Abbreviation for Domain Name System. A system that acquires the supported IP
addresses from host names in a network environment. DNS allows the user to ac-
cess other computers over a network by specifying host names, instead of difficult
to memorize and understand IP addresses.
DPI (dpi) Abbreviation for Dots Per Inch. A resolution unit used by printers and scanners. In-
dicates how many dots per inch are represented in an image. The higher the value,
the higher the resolution.
Driver Software that works as a bridge between a computer and a peripheral device.
Ethernet LAN transmission line standard
File extension The characters added to the file name in order to differentiate file formats. The file
extension is added after a period, for example, ".bmp" or ".jpg".
