Glossary of terms
The following glossary includes terminology commonly used with printing as well as terminology used in this
user’s manual.
Table B-1 Glossary of terms
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/n 802.11b/g/n can share the same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11
Mbps, 802.11n supports bandwidth up to 150 Mbps. 802.11b/g/n devices might occasionally suer
interferences 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 a 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 scanning unit that will automatically feed an original sheet of paper
for scanning.
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 assigns an 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.
Build job After scanning is nished, the Scan More Pages window appears to ask if you want to scan additional pages. If
you select Yes, then you can scan additional pages to the current job. If you select No, then the scanning
process is complete and the remainder of the job is nished.
CCD Charged Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. The CCD locking mechanism is also
used to hold the CCD module to prevent any damage when the device is moved.
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.
Condential This mode is used for printing condential documents. Password is often required to print the print job.
Control Panel The control panel is a at, typically vertical panel or screen where control or monitoring instruments are
displayed. The control panel is found on the front of the device.
Coverage Coverage is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For example, 5% coverage
means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. If the paper or original has complicated
images or a large amount of text, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as
much as the coverage.
Default The value or setting that is in eect when a device is unboxed, reset, or initialized.
Developer unit The developer unit contains toner carrier that is supplied to the magnetic (development) roller by the two
mixing augers.
DHCP A Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking protocol. A DHCP server provides
conguration parameters specic to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information required by the
client host to participate on an IP network. The DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses
to client hosts.
DIMM Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) is a small circuit board that holds memory. The DIMM stores all data within
the device, such as printing data and received fax data.
DNS The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information associated with domain names in a
distributed database on networks, such as the internet.
Duplex A mechanism that will automatically turn over a sheet of paper so that the device can print (or scan) on both
sides of the paper. A device is equipped with a duplex unit can print on both sides of the paper during one print
cycle.
