FRPO (Firmware RePrOgram)
These are commands that reset the machine’s firmware. It is possible to use this to return each of
the settings that are applied when the power is turned on to this machine back to its default value.
(To temporarily change a setting, PRESCRIBE commands should be used instead of FRPO
commands.)
It is possible to reset a single value with each FRPO command. Current settings can be verified by
printing out a Status Page from this machine.
GrayScale
This is one method of describing monochrome color shades on a computer. It expresses the shades
of an image strictly in monochrome tones from white to black without including color information.
The number of levels of gray that is expressed is indicated in bits. 1 bit refers solely to black and
white with no intermediate shades, while 8 bit (including black and white) indicates 256 levels of
gray, and 16 bit expresses 65536 levels of gray.
IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
The Internet Protocol address is a unique number that represents a specific computer in a network.
The format of an IP Address is four numbers separated by dots, e.g. 192.168.110.171. Each
number should be a decimal between 0 and 255.
IPP (Internet Print Protocol)
This enables output to the printer from a printer driver over the Internet or an intranet and via an IPP
port. Using IPP, output to a remote printer is possible over the Internet.
Job
This refers to an independent block of data to be processed for scanning or printing. A command
that indicates the beginning and end of each job is included with each block of scan and print data in
order to enable the printer to differentiate that data from the data for another job.
KIR
This is smoothing function. It uses software to enhance the printer’s resolution and produce
high-quality printing. The default setting is On.
KPDL
KPDL is Kyocera’s implementation of the PostScript page description language Level3.
Logical Printer
This is a software interface that exists between the Windows OS and the printers connected to it. A
printer refers to the actual device that prints out, while a logical printer refers to the software
interface that resides on the printer server.
Low Power Mode
This mode is engaged when actions such as scan and print operations, use of the operation panel,
and transmission or reception of data do not occur for a predetermined amount of time. At this point,
the machine enters a waiting state that automatically reduces power consumption. When a further
predetermined amount of time is exceeded, the machine will then enter the Sleep mode.
MP Tray
This is an abbreviation for the Multi-Purpose tray. The MP tray is used instead of the cassette when
printing on envelopes, postcards, transparency sheets, and labels.
NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface)
This is a network protocol which enables the utilization of more advanced functions on small-scale
networks than do other protocols such as TCP/IP, etc.
