PDA
Abbreviation for “personal digital assistants”; An
electronic computing device about the size of a
palm; Since it was assumed that electronic
devices would be used instead of paper notepads,
the original devices entering the mainstream were
not equipped with telephone features. However,
personal digital assistants with portable telephone
features have recently appeared. Since they are
not equipped to process multiple functions, like a
PC, they do not include printing features. The
Brother Mobile Software, included with this printer,
was developed specifically to enable printing of a
variety of data from PDAs installed with the
Microsoft Pocket PC 2003 or Pocket PC 2003 SE
or Windows MobileTM 5.0 operating system.
USB
Abbreviation for “Universal Serial Bus”; A protocol
for connecting computers and peripherals; Since
the protocol allows communication between a
USB host (mainly a PC with a USB connection)
and a USB client, a PDA, which functions as a
USB client, cannot print since it cannot send data
to this printer. In addition, USB Ver. 2.0, which
enables high-speed communication, is back-
wardly compatible with USB Ver. 1.1. Depending
on the communication speed, it appears as USB
Ver. 2.0 Full Speed with a communication speed
of 12 Mbps, or it appears as USB Ver. 2.0 High
Speed when compatible with 480 Mbps. This
printer can communicate with USB Ver. 2.0 Full
Speed, and at 12 Mbps with USB Ver. 1.1 or USB
Ver. 2.0 devices.
