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 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 may occasionally suer 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 scanning unit that will automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the
machine can scan some amount of the paper at once.
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 le 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.
Control Panel
A control panel is a at, typically vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically
found in front of the machine.
