Gigabit Ethernet
An Ethernet network capable of transferring data at up to 1,000,000,000 bits/second. Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are
capable of negotiating slower speeds when required for compatibility with older Ethernet devices.
Hi-Speed USB
A version of USB, sometimes called USB 2.0, that can run 40 times faster than original USB, but is otherwise compatible
with original USB. Most personal computers today use Hi-Speed USB.
HP RTL
HP Raster Transfer Language: a language dened by HP to describe raster (bitmap) graphics.
HP-GL/2
HP Graphics Language 2: a language dened by HP to describe vector graphics.
I/O
Input/Output: this term describes the passing of data between one device and another.
ICC
The International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed on a common standard for color proles.
Ink cartridge
A removable printer component that stores ink of a particular color and provides it to the printhead.
IP address
May mean an IPv4 address (most likely) or an IPv6 address.
IPSec
A sophisticated mechanism for providing network security by authenticating and encrypting IP packets sent between
nodes on a network. Each network node (computer or device) has an IPSec conguration. Applications are usually
unaware whether IPSec is being used or not.
IPv4 address
A unique identier that identies a particular node on an IPv4 network. An IPv4 address consists of four integers
separated by full stops. Most networks in the world use IPv4 addresses.
IPv6 address
A unique identier that identies a particular node on an IPv6 network. An IPv6 address consists of up to 8 groups of
hexadecimal digits separated by colons. Each groups contains up to 4 hexadecimal digits. Only a few new networks in the
world use IPv6 addresses.
LED
Light-Emitting Diode: a semiconductor device that emits light when electrically stimulated.
MAC address
Media Access Control address: a unique identier used to identify a particular device on a network. It is a lower-level
identier than the IP address. Thus, a device may have both a MAC address and an IP address.
Network
A network is a set of connections that pass data between computers and devices. Every device is able to communicate
with every other device in the same network. This allows data to be moved between computers and devices, and allows
devices such as printers to be shared between many computers.
Nozzle
One of many tiny holes in a printhead through which ink is deposited onto the paper.
Paper
A thin, at material made to be written or printed on; most commonly made from bers of some kind which are pulped,
dried and pressed.
Platen
The at surface within the printer over which the paper passes while it is being printed on.
