printer driver A printer driver is a program that enables applications to access a
product’s features. A printer driver translates an application’s formatting
commands (such as page breaks and font selection) into a printer
language (such as PostScript, PS, or PCL), and then sends the print file to
the product.

Private Branch Exchange
(PBX) A small telephone switching system that typically is used by large
businesses or universities to connect all telephone extensions within the
organization. A PBX also connects to the public switched telephone
network (PSTN) and may be either manual or dial, depending on the
method used by extensions to place incoming or outgoing calls. Normally,
the equipment is owned by the customer rather than leased from the
telephone company.
public switched telephone
network (PSTN) The worldwide dial-up telephone network or a portion of that network.
Users are assigned unique phone numbers, which allow them to connect
to the PSTN through local telephone exchange companies. Often, this
phrase is used when referring to data or other non-telephone services
carried over a path initially established using normal telephone signaling
and ordinary switched long distance telephone circuits.
resolution The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher
the dpi, the greater the resolution.
RJ45 A network connector that looks much like a standard telephone connector,
except it is wider (it houses 8 wires instead of 4). Both Ethernet
(10/100Base-Tx) and Token Ring networks use this type of network
connector.
shared line A single telephone line that is used for both voice and fax calls.
sticky note An annotation that is a multiline, resizable note. Similar to a paper sticky
note, it covers the item information beneath it. A sticky note can be moved
or collapsed to an icon. Words can be searched for in a sticky note by
using the Find command.
surge protector A device that protects a power supply and communications lines from
electrical surges. All computers come with some surge protection built
into the power supply, but it is a good idea to purchase a separate device.
summary information Information about the item, such as creator or keywords, can be added to
an item in the Summary Information dialog box to help find the item
quickly.
TCP/IP The de facto standard Ethernet protocol. TCP/IP stands for Transmission
Control Protocol over Internet Protocol. In order for the HP LaserJet 3300
series product to work on the network, the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX network
protocol must be running.
.tif Tagged Image File Format, a .tif (or TIFF) is a graphic file format that was
developed to capture scanned images. It is a format used on
IBM-compatible computers, Macintosh computers, and UNIX computers.
Many graphic programs accept the .tif file format.
