Glossary
A
Activity Report
A journal of the machine’s fax transactions, both sent and
received.
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF)
The device included in the machine that feeds the document
being faxed or copied, or scanned into the machine.
Automatic redialing
When the receiving fax machine is busy or does not answer, or
when an error occurs while sending, the machine waits a
specified time and then automatically redials the number. If the
receiving fax is still busy or does not answer, the machine waits
the specified time and dials again.
B
bps
Bits per second. Refers to the speed with which a fax machine
sends and receives data.
BOOTP
BOOTstrap Protocol. A protocol that enables a client machine to
automatically obtain network setup information from a server over
a TCP/IP network. BOOTP enables a client to automatically
locate such information as the host name, domain name, and IP
address, so that it is not necessary to create these items
manually.
Broadcasting
Transmitting documents to more than one location (through the
machine’s memory).
Buffer size
The size of a data area, or buffer, shared by devices or programs
working at different speeds or with different priorities. The buffer
is designed to prevent one device or process from being held up
by another. For this to be possible, the buffer must be set up
correctly.
