8.3 Glossary 8
bps The acronym for bit per second, which is a unit of data transmission, indicating
the amount of data transmitted per second.
Broadcast A transmission of a single original to multiple recipients in one operation.
Bulletin board A function to post documents to be viewed, or to store the documents to be
transmitted via polling.
Byte A byte indicates a unit of information (data quantity) handled by a computer or
printer. A byte consists of eight bits.
Client A computer using services provided by servers via the network.
Closed Network RX A function to accept only transmissions from recipient machines with a matching
password.
Compact PDF/XPS A compression method for minimizing the data size using the PDF or XPS format,
used when digitalizing color documents.
Compact PDF allows high compression performance by identifying the text and
image regions, and applying the resolution and compression method optimized
for each region.
The compact PDF method can be selected in this machine when using the scan-
ning function to digitalize documents.
Confidential com-
munication A function used to transmit an original only to specific people who you want to
read it. Originals 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.
Contrast The difference in intensity between the light and dark parts of the image
(light/dark variation). "Low contrast" indicates an image with little light/dark vari-
ation, while "High contrast" an image with large light/dark variation.
CSV The acronym for Comma Separated Values, which is one of the formats used for
saving database or spreadsheet data as a text file. (The file extension is ".csv".)
Data can be shared among different applications by being separated by commas
(as the delimiter).
Default An initial setting. The settings selected in advance and enabled when the machine
is turned on, or the settings selected in advance and enabled when the function
is activated.
Default Gateway A device, such as a computer or router, used as a "gateway" to access comput-
ers 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 will be con-
venient to set a frequently used value to the default value according to your ap-
plication.
Density The amount of density of an image.
Density Compensa-
tion A color tone correction function used for output devices such as printers and dis-
plays.
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.
