Glossary
The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by understanding the terminologies commonly used
with printing as well as mentioned in this user’s guide.
802.11
802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN) communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN
Standards Committee (IEEE 802).
802.11b/g
802.11b/g can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps; 802.11g
up to 54 Mbps. 802.11b/g devices may occasionally suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones,
and Bluetooth devices.
Access point
Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that connects wireless communication devices
together on wireless local area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio
signals.
ADF
An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that
the machine can scan some amount of the paper at once.
AppleTalk
AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for computer networking. It was included in the
original Macintosh (1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.
BIT Depth
A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped
image. Higher color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases, the number of
possible colors becomes impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black
and white.
BMP
A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly
as a simple graphics file format on that platform.
BOOTP
Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually
done in the bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP
address from a pool of addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP
address prior to loading any advanced operating system.
CCD
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to
hold the CCD module to prevent any damage when you move the machine.
Collation
Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When collation is selected, the device prints an entire set
before printing additional copies.
Control Panel
A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are
typically found in front of the machine.
Coverage
It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For example, 5% coverage means that an A4
sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it,
the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
