This refers to the factory setting or the reset value for NV Memory initialization.
Interface Board
It is the part for connecting peripherals to a computer.
IP Address
It is the network address used by the TCP/IP protocol and assigned to devices connected to the network. An IP address is expressed by four sets of decimal values between 0 to 255 and separated by periods, for example, "123.123.123.123".
Job
This refers to a group of print data.
The stopping and output of printing is conducted on a job basis. If the mode menu is changed, the new settings will be reflected in the next print job.
Job
This refers to a print request by a user.
LED
This is the acronym for Light Emitted Diode.
LPR
It is the command for transferring a file and printing it to the specified printer.
Ledger
Paper measuring 17 x 11 inches (432 x 279 mm). It is also called Double Letter.
Letter
Paper measuring 11 x 8.5 inches (279 x 216 mm)
Local Printer
It refers to a printer that is connected directly to a computer. This is used in contrast to shared printers connected to a network server.
Microsoft® Windows® Network
It is the network protocol for file and print services. This network uses SMB.
NDS (Novell Directory Service)
It is a directory management service that can be set up on multiple servers with hierarchical structures. In this way, it can organise and standardize resources within the hierarchy, such as account information, service name and service information.
NetBEUI
It is short for NetBIOS Enhanced User Interface, a protocol for constructing small scale network.
Network Interface Card
It is an extension card for connecting the computer to the network.
Network Printer
It is a printer shared by multiple client computers on the network.
NV Memory
This is a non-volatile memory that allows the settings of the printer to be maintained even when the power is switched off.
Parallel Connection
It is a communications channel for transmitting multi-bit data simultaneously. The parallel port of a computer is referred to as the LPT port.
Parity Check
This is a check to find out if data was sent and received correctly.
Primary Server
It is the server that manages user and security information on the network as well as authentication of users.
Print Area
It refers to the actual printable area on a sheet of paper.
Print Driver
It is the program that manages the printer connected to a computer.
Print Page Buffer
It is the location where print data is held and processed.
Protocol
This is a set of rules for regulating the communications among computers.
Queue
When data is received from the computer to be printed to a designated printer, it is stored temporarily in a print queue.
RAM
It is the main memory device of a computer.
ROM
This is the acronym for Read Only Memory, and it is the memory device specially for reading information.
Receiving Buffer
A buffer is the location that stores data sent by a host device temporarily. The host device can be released earlier if the memory size of the receiving buffer is increased.
Registry
In Windows®, this is the database for central control of all computer setup information from device driver settings to application settings.
Resolution
It refers to the image quality. It shows how many dots can be represented within a one-inch width area (dpi), the higher the number, the better the image quality.
Scaling
It enlarges or reduces the input size (original size) to match the output size (paper size).
Scaling Point
It is the limit point for specifying plotter scope.
Screen
It refers to the dots for representing the density of a print object of a printer. The rows or lines of dots during printing are referred to as the screen lines. The gradation that can be represented will depend on the screen lines.
Serial Connection
It is a communications channel for transmitting digital data continuously one bit at a time. The serial port of a computer is referred to as the COM port.
Server (Computer)
On a network, the server is used for storing data and providing services to be used by other computers. A server that manages shared files is called a file server while a server that manages printers is called a print server.
Shared Printer
It refers to a printer that is connected to the network server and shared by multiple clients. In contrast, a printer connected locally to a client is called a local printer.
Start Page
This refers to the print output obtained after the printer is switched on or when the system has just been reset. Users can find out about the status of the printer on this Start Page.
Subnet
This is a small scale network that is a component of a larger network.
Subnet Mask
In a TCP/IP connection, the scope of IP addresses assigned to machines is restricted when a network is divided into smaller networks (referred to as the subnets). In this case, a divided network is referred to as the subnet mask.
