IEEE 1284
IEEE 1284 is the new specification standard for computer-to-peripheral bi-
directional parallel interface communications. The new standard was adopted by
IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc., in 1993. Some of the
benefits it provides are: bi-directional communication between Macintoshes and
peripheral devices, a higher speed data transfer rate, and protection against data
loss due to noise interference.
Ink Jet printer
A nonimpact printer that ejects ink onto paper to form characters. The MultiPASS
has a special type of ink jet printer built in called a Bubble Jet printer.
Ink saver
You can enable or disable economy printing (ink saving feature) for black & white
printing. By enabling the ink saver feature, ink consumption can be decreased,
resulting in a longer effective cartridge life. You set the ink saver feature using the
operation panel.
Intensity
The amount of color. More intense or more saturated colors are more pure. Less
intense or less saturated colors are less vivid.
Interface port
The MultiPASS comes with one IEEE 1284, bi-directional parallel interface port,
located on the back of the unit. You attach the USB-to-Parallel cable that connects
your Macintosh and the MultiPASS to this port.
ITU-T/CCITT No. 1 Chart
A test chart, defined by CCITT/ITU-TS, used to measure the transmission speed as
well as the transmitting and receiving memory capacity of a fax machine.
