Banding
Specifies the method for the Banding operation performed in the printer driver. As
Banding defines the output image data of a page by processing it in rectangular
bitmap sections called Bands, you can print a document faster.
If “On” is selected, Banding is constantly performed; but if “Auto” is selected, Banding
is performed only when necessary.
BOOTP
BOOTstrap Protocol. A protocol which allows 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.
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
correct.
Container object
An object in the directory tree of a NetWare network which can hold other objects. An
organizational unit such as a company department is a container object. This
organizational unit can contain objects representing network resources such as
workstations, servers and printers.
Context
In Netware, this indicates the location of an object existing in the directory tree.
Cookie
A file left on a user’s computer when the user visits a web site. A cookie allows the
web site to recognize the user on subsequent visits. Tokens are generally used to
allow a user to automatically sign on to certain web sites and to customize the
features offered by such sites.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol which automatically specifies the
network settings of a client on a TCP/IP network. Many of the settings required to set
