IP address
(Internet Protocol Address) A unique number assigned to networks and network interfaces of computers connected to the
IP network.
It is an address assigned to each terminal connected to the Internet, such as
"192.168.100.100".
The domain is an IP address converted so that humans can remember it easily.
ITU-T Acronym for the International Telecommunications Union. This group used to be called the
CCITT, and is responsible for standardizing facsimile communications.
JBIG Coding A new method of data compression/decompression standardized by the Joint Bilevel Image
Expert Group, a subcommittee of the ITU-T. JBIG is a very effective coding method for trans-
ferring large and high resolution image data, such as grayscale (GSR) images and photos.
Manual Reception/Transmission The ability for the operator to send and receive a facsimile after answering and speaking on
the telephone.
Memory The device(s) in a facsimile machine that stores image data.
Generally speaking, the larger memory size means that more image data (pages) can be
stored. Memory is also used by the printing function, if the facsimile machine has a PC printing
ability.
Memory Reception If the print paper runs out during a facsimile reception, the image data is automatically stored
into memory, and then printed when the paper supply is replaced. Likewise, if the facsimile
machine develops a paper jam or runs out of toner, the received document will be stored into
memory until the problem is resolved.
MFP Agent
(Multi Function Peripheral Agent) Software that enables a user to confirm the printing status and configure printer settings from
a PC screen in an network environment.
MIME
(Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions encoding) Transfer of Internet mail is restricted to seven-bit character code or 1000 characters in a line.
In these specifications, binary data (in eight bits) cannot be transferred.
To transfer such data, the method converts the data to 7-bit code, and the receiver recovers it
using the same procedure.
MIME is one of such methods.
Today, many E-mail client software support MIME, and it is the de-facto standard.
POP
(Post Office Protocol) A communication Protocol for transferring an E-mail that has arrived at a server to a client PC.
The mail server supporting POP is called a POP server, and it accepts access from an E-mail
software supporting POP via a password authentication, and transmits the E-mail (function-
ally, it takes out a mail from a private mailbox).
The currently used POP is POP3, i.e. version 3.
Private Branch Exchange (PBX) A PBX is telephone system equipment that is installed in a company to connect a large num-
ber of telephone sets incorporating multiple station lines for advanced telephone operations.
Items like voice processing, direct inward dialing, and automated attendant features are avail-
able via a PBX.
Push Button Signal A dialing signal used on a telephone line consisting of two sets of frequency tones combined
together. The resulting tone is decoded, by the telephone equipment, as a dialed digit. By
touching [Tone], the touchtone (PB) line becomes available even if a dial telephone line (DP 10
pps, DP 20 pps) is connected.
Quick Memory Transmission A feature which dials a facsimile telephone number immediately after the first document page
is scanned. The remaining pages continue to scan into memory while the pages already
stored are sent. Many facsimile machines wait to dial a destination number after all the docu-
ment is stored.
Router A device to connect networks in the network layer. A router connects different network seg-
ments together.
SMTP
(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) A communication protocol used for transmitting/transferring an E-mail.
