Glossary

The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by understanding the terminologies commonly used with

printing as well as mentioned in this user’s guide.

802.11

802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN) communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN

Standards Committee (IEEE 802).

802.11b/g

802.11b/g can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps; 802.11g

up to 54 Mbps. 802.11b/g devices may occasionally suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones,

and Bluetooth devices.

Access point

Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that connects wireless communication devices together

on wireless local area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio signals.

ADF

An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that

the machine can scan some amount of the paper at once.

AppleTalk

AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for computer networking. It was included in the

original Macintosh (1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.

BIT Depth

A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped

image. Higher color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases, the number of

possible colors becomes impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black

and white.

BMP

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used

commonly as a simple graphics file format on that platform.

BOOTP

Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually

done in the bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP

address from a pool of addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP

address prior to loading any advanced operating system.

CCD

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold

the CCD module to prevent any damage when you move the machine.

Collation

Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When collation is selected, the device prints an entire set

before printing additional copies.
