TIFF
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a variable-resolution bitmapped image format. TIFF describes image data that typically
come from scanners. TIFF images make use of tags, keywords dening the characteristics of the image that is included in
the
le. This exible and platform-independent format can be used for pictures that have been made by various image
processing applications.
Toner Cartridge
A kind of bottle or container used in a machine like a printer which contains toner. Toner is a powder used in laser printers
and photocopiers, which forms the text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be fused by a combination of heat/
pressure from the fuser, causing it to bind to the bers in the paper.
TWAIN
An industry standard for scanners and software. By using a TWAIN-compliant scanner with a TWAIN-compliant program, a
scan can be initiated from within the program. It is an image capture API for Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac operating
systems.
UNC Path
Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) is a standard way to access network shares in Window NT and other Microsoft products.
The format of a UNC path is: \\<servername>\<sharename>\<Additional directory>
URL
>: Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and resources on the Internet. The rst part of the
address indicates what protocol to use, the second part species the IP address or the domain name where the resource is
located.
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and
peripherals. Unlike the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single computer USB port to multiple
peripherals.
Watermark
A watermark is a recognizable image or pattern in paper that appears lighter when viewed by transmitted light. Watermarks
were rst introduced in Bologna, Italy in 1282; they have been used by papermakers to identify their product, and also on
postage stamps, currency, and other government documents to discourage counterfeiting.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specied in IEEE 802.11 to provide the same level of security as that of
a wired LAN. WEP provides security by encrypting data over radio so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end
point to another.
WIA
Windows Imaging Architecture (WIA) is an imaging architecture that is originally introduced in Windows Me and Windows XP.
A scan can be initiated from within these operating systems by using a WIA-compliant scanner.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks, which was created to
improve upon the security features of WEP.
