IPM

The Images Per Minute (IPM) is a way of measuring the speed of a printer. An IPM

rate indicates the number of single-sided sheets a printer can complete within

one minute.

IPP

The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) defines a standard protocol for printing as

well as managing print jobs, media size, resolution, and so forth. IPP can be used

locally or over the Internet to hundreds of printers, and also supports access

control, authentication, and encryption, making it a much more capable and

secure printing solution than older ones.

IPX/SPX

IPX/SPX stands for Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange. It is a

networking protocol used by the Novell NetWare operating systems. IPX and

SPX both provide connection services similar to TCP/IP, with the IPX protocol

having similarities to IP, and SPX having similarities to TCP. IPX/SPX was

primarily designed for local area networks (LANs), and is a very efficient protocol

for this purpose (typically its performance exceeds that of TCP/IP on a LAN).

ISO

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international

standard-setting body composed of representatives from national standards

bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and commercial standards.

ITU-T

The International Telecommunication Union is an international organization

established to standardize and regulate international radio and

telecommunications. Its main tasks include standardization, allocation of the

radio spectrum, and organizing interconnection arrangements between

different countries to allow international phone calls. A -T out of ITU-T indicates

telecommunication.

ITU-T No. 1 chart

Standardized test chart published by ITU-T for document facsimile

transmissions.

JBIG

Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group (JBIG) is an image compression standard with

no loss of accuracy or quality, which was designed for compression of binary

images, particularly for faxes, but can also be used on other images.

JPEG

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is a most commonly used standard

method of lossy compression for photographic images. It is the format used for

storing and transmitting photographs on the World Wide Web.
