Internet Protocol (IP)
The underlying set of networking rules that describes how data is
transmitted across the Internet. Internet Protocol allows data from
one computer to be split into packets to be sent to another
computer with a specific IP address.
IP address
Internet Protocol address. A 32-bit numeric address used by IP
(internet protocol) to specify a computer on the Internet. The IP
address is usually written as four numbers separated by periods.
An example is 128.121.4.5.
ITU-T
A committee created to set international standards for
telecommunications.
J
JBIG
Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group. An experts group file
specification that defines a standard for compressing (reducing
the size of) image files without any loss in image information.
Files containing photographic images in Web pages are generally
compressed so they can be transferred across the Internet more
quickly. JPEG, the format currently used, causes some loss in
image data after compression, and so reduces image quality.
JBIG compression overcomes this shortcoming.
Job Recall
A method to specify the same destination you have specified
before. You can recall the destinations, scan settings, and send
settings which have been set, and then send your documents.
JPEG
Joint Photographic Experts Group. An experts group file
specification that defines a standard for compressing (reducing
the size of) photographic and photorealistic image files. The
image compression method used involves some loss of
information, and so reduces image quality. Files containing
photographic images in Web pages are generally compressed by
using the JPEG format so they can be transferred across the
Internet more quickly.
L
LAN
Local Area Network. It is a network system formed by linking a
server, workstations, and computers, which are all located in the
same building or some other relatively limited area.
Log in
Entering a password as a means of user authentication to start a
computer session or access to a service.
LPD
Line Printer Daemon. A daemon is a program that runs, without
human intervention, to accomplish a given task. The Line Printer
Daemon controls the flow of print jobs to a printer.
