I

Internet Protocol (IP)

The underlying set of networking rules that describes how data is transmitted across the Internet. Internet Protocol enables data from one computer to be split into packets, and 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 or device on the Internet. The IP address is usually written as four numbers delimited by periods. For example, 128.121.4.5.

ITU-T

See CCITT/ITU-T.

J

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

Long distance dialing

When dialing or registering long distance numbers, you may need to insert a pause within or after the telephone number. The destination and length of the pause differ depending on the system. Contact your local authorized Canon dealer or local telephone company if you experience difficulty in long distance dialing.

M

Memory box

The memory box enables you to set up an ITU-T subaddress and password, and use advanced features, such as confidential sending and relay sending, with a fax machine of any manufacturer that supports ITU-T standard subaddress/password transactions.
