T
tagged image file format (TIFF). A bitmapped
graphics format for scanned images of up to 300 dpi.
TCP/IP transmission control protocol/Internet
protocol. The standard used by the Internet for transmitting information.
telnet. In TCP/IP, an application protocol that allows a user at one site to access a remote system as if the user’s computer were locally attached. Telnet uses TCP as the underlying protocol. See also TCP/IP.
test mode. The operational mode in which the printer can produce print samples, accept configuration changes, and control traces.
test page. A page you can print to see samples of color and grayscale on the printer.
text orientation. The position of text as a combination of print direction and baseline direction. See also orientation.
thermistor. A semiconductor device whose electric resistance is dependent on temperature.
token. In a local area network (LAN), a message or bit pattern that signifies permission to transmit. The token is passed successively from one workstation to another to indicate the workstation temporarily in control of the transmission medium. See also
toner. In color printing, the material that forms an image on paper. Toner adheres to the exposed areas on the photoconductor drum during the developing process and is then transferred to the paper to form the developed image on the paper.
toner cartridge. A cylindrical unit that supplies the toner for one of the four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) used for color printing. Four toner cartridges fit in the printer’s turret. See also turret.
toner cartridge position mark. A mark on the printer’s turret that you use to align with the arrow on a toner cartridge.
toner projection development. The process in which, when the area on the printer’s photoconductor drum cartridge that is irradiated by the laser beam comes close to the negatively charged toner on the cylinder, the difference in potential causes the toner to jump across and adhere to the drum surface.
topology. The geometric arrangement of nodes and cable links in a local area network (LAN).
top output tray. When the side output tray is closed, a tray that receives printouts facedown. The top output tray holds approximately 20 sheets of plain paper at 80 g/m2.
torque. A force that produces rotation or torsion.
trailing edge. The edge of the paper that goes into the printer last as it is inserted by the paper feeder.
transceiver chip. Semiconductor material used for transmitting and receiving signals.
transfer drum. The part of the printer where a toned image on the photoconductor drum is transferred to the paper.
transfer sheet. A special
transmission control protocol/Internet protocol
(TCP/IP). The standard used by the Internet for transmitting information.
transparency. An acetate sheet that holds information to be shown by an overhead projector.
transparency film. See transparency.
tray. A receptacle to store paper or transparencies for printing. The printer has three trays: tray 1 used for paper, tray 2 used for paper, and an auxiliary tray used for paper and transparencies.
TrueType. A font technology that offers scalable fonts to Macintosh and Windows systems for display on monitors and for use on printers.
