Glossary

This glossary defines technical terms and abbreviations used in Infoprint Server documentation. If you do not find the term you are looking for, refer to the index of this publication or view IBM Dictionary of Computing,, located at:

http://www.ibm.com/networking/nsg/nsgmain.htm

Definitions reprinted from the American National Dictionary for Information Processing Systems are identified by the symbol (A) following the definition.

Definitions reprinted from a published section of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Vocabulary—Information Processing or from a published section of Vocabulary—Office Machines developed by Subcommittee 1, Joint Technical Committee 1, of the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Committee (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC1) are identified by the symbol (I) following the definition. Because many ISO definitions are also reproduced in the American National Dictionary for Information Processing Systems, ISO definitions may also be identified by the symbol (A).

Definitions reprinted from working documents, draft proposals, or draft international standards of ISO Technical Committee 97, Subcommittee 1 (Vocabulary), Joint Technical Committee 1 are identified by the symbol (T) following the definition, indicating that final agreement has not yet been reached among its participating members.

Definitions that are specific to IBM products are so labeled—for example, “In SNA,” or “In the 3820 printer.”
