Internet. A wide area network (WAN) connecting thousands of disparate networks in business, technology, education, government, entertainment, and research. The Internet uses the TCP/IP as the standard for transmitting information. See also TCP/IP.

Internet address. The numbering system used in TCP/IP internetwork communications to specify a network or host computer on a network. See also TCP/IP.

J

jam. See paper jam.

job. The result of a command to desktop publishing software to print a document. The PostScript language allows for single PostScript files holding multiple jobs and single jobs spread over multiple files.

job log. A list of the printer’s last 40 jobs. The job log includes information such as user name, document name, time and date printed, and number of pages printed for each job.

jumper. A short wire used to close a break or cut out part of a circuit.

K

kilobyte (KB). 1024 bytes.

L

landscape orientation. Text and images that are printed parallel to the longer side of the paper. Contrast with portrait orientation.

laser (light amplification by stimulated emission

of radiation). A device that emits a beam of coherent light.

laser diode. A laser that uses a forward-biased semiconductor junction as the active medium.

laser interlock. The mechanical blockage of the laser beam when the printer’s front door is open. The front door panel has a plastic protrusion that fits into an opening in the printer and mechanically forces the interlock open.

latent toned image. See electrostatic latent image.

lens. A piece of transparent material such as glass that has two opposite regular surfaces, either both curved or one curved and the other flat. A lens is used either singly or combined in an optical instrument for forming an image by focusing rays of light.

local area network (LAN). A network of workstations within a limited area connected by high-performance cables so that users can exchange information, share peripherals such as printers, and have access to the resources of a secondary storage unit called a file server. See also file server.

M

megabyte (MB). 1,024,000 bytes.

menu-scrolling push buttons. The up and arrow buttons that you press to scroll through the menus on the printer’s display panel.

microcode. The microprogramming stored on a microcode diskette. Microcode is used by the controller to manage the printer and its functions.

Microsoft Excel A graphics-oriented spreadsheet program developed by Microsoft Corporation for IBM PC-compatible computers and Macintosh computers.

monitor style. A rendering style that produces color similar to the color on a computer monitor. See also photographic style, presentation style, and solid-color style.

multifeed. A condition in which more than one sheet of paper at a time is inserted into the printer’s feed roller. A multifeed prevention mechanism on the printer separates the extra sheets to correct the condition.

N

named color. A color that is defined according to a custom color system. For example, PANTONE 107C is a named color.
