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 eicient 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.
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.
LDAP
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a networking protocol for querying and modifying directory services
running over TCP/IP.
LED
A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the status of a machine.
MAC address
Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identier associated with a network adapter. MAC address is a unique 48-bit
identier usually written as 12 hexadecimal characters grouped in pairs (e. g., 00-00-0c-34-11-4e). This address is usually
hard-coded into a Network Interface Card (NIC) by its manufacturer, and used as an aid for routers trying to locate machines
on large networks.
Mass storage device
Mass storage device, commonly referred to as a hard drive or hard disk, is a nonvolatile storage device which stores digitally-
encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.
MFP
Multi Function Peripheral (MFP) is an oice machine that includes the following functionality in one physical body, so as to
have a printer, a copier, a fax, a scanner and etc.
NetWare
A network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a
PC, and the network protocols were based on the archetypal Xerox XNS stack. Today NetWare supports TCP/IP as well as
IPX/SPX.
OPC
Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) is a mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam emitted from a laser
printer, and it is usually green or rust colored and has a cylinder shape.
An imaging unit containing a drum slowly wears the drum surface by its usage in the printer, and it should be replaced
appropriately since it gets worn from contact with the cartridge development brush, cleaning mechanism, and paper.
Originals
The rst example of something, such as a document, photograph or text, etc, which is copied, reproduced or translated to
produce others, but which is not itself copied or derived from something else.
OSI
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) is a model developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for
communications. OSI oers a standard, modular approach to network design that divides the required set of complex
