14.2 Glossary 14
Confidential communi-
cation A function to transmit a document to specific persons you want them to read
it. Documents sent via confidential communication are not printed when re-
ceived, and are saved in a confidential box of the recipient's fax machine.
The document can be printed by some specific operation such as entering
the access code for the confidential box.
Default Gateway A device, such as a computer or router, used as a "gateway" to access com-
puters on different LANs.
Default value A setting value configured for the machine prior to shipment from the factory.
Some default values can be changed by using the settings menu. It is con-
venient to set a frequently used value to the default value according to your
application.
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 Three types are provided for Dialing methods: PB (push-button dialing),
10PPS (pulse dialing/ 10 pps), and 20PPS (pulse dialing/ 20 pps).
DNS The acronym for Domain Name System. DNS allows for obtaining the IP ad-
dress 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
scanners. 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 de-
vice.
DSN The acronym for Delivery Status Notifications, a delivery status notification
message being returned from a receiver to a sender when the E-mail is de-
livered to the receiver's mail server.
ECM (Error Correction Mode)
ECM is the 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 resends the same data while maintains the serial commu-
nication. If a receiver also provides the ECM mode, this machine uses the
ECM-based communication with the receiver unless the ECM mode is disa-
bled.
Ethernet A standard for LAN transmission lines.
F-Code A communication procedure related to the usage of subaddress of T.30*
standardized by CIAJ (Communications and Information Network Associa-
tion of Japan). F-code is provided by Japanese Communications Industrial
Corporation. Various kinds of capabilities are available for the communica-
tion among fax machines with the F-code function 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)
Fax driver Software that works as a bridge between a computer and a fax.
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. This is a protocol used for transfer-
ring files via the Internet, an intranet or other TCP/IP network.
G3 A fax communication mode standardized by the ITU-T (International Tele-
communication 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
network. A gateway not only connects networks but also changes data for-
mats, addresses, and protocols according to the connected networks.
Gray scale A form of presenting monochrome image by using the gradation information
shifting from black to white.
