Term	Definition
10Base-T/100Base-TX/	An Ethernet standard, which is a cable consisting of twisted copper
1000Base-T	wire pairs. The transmission speed of 10Base-T is 10 Mbps, of
	100Base-TX is 100 Mbps, and of 1000Base-T is 1000 Mbps.
anonymous FTP	While normal FTP sites are protected by an account name and pass-
	word, this type of FTP site can be used by anyone without a pass-
	word by simply entering “anonymous” as the account name.
Auto IP	A function for automatically acquiring the IP address. If acquisition
	of the IP address failed with DHCP, an IP address is acquired from
	the address space of 169.254.0.0.
bit	Abbreviation for Binary Digit. The smallest unit of information (data
	quantity) on a computer or printer. Displays data using 0 or 1.
Bit-mapped Font	Fonts that are represented by a set of dots to form the character.
	Dithering may occur if the character size is increased.
BMP	Abbreviation for Bitmap. A file format for saving image data which
	uses the .bmp extension. Commonly used on Windows platforms.
	You can specify the color depth from monochrome (2 values) to full
	color (16,777,216 colors). Images are not usually compressed when
	saved.
Byte	Unit of information (data quantity) on a computer or printer. Config-
	ured as 1 byte equals 8 bits.
Compact PDF	Compression method for reducing the data amount using the PDF
	format when converting color documents to data.
	The highest compression efficiency is achieved by identifying the
	text and image regions and using the resolution and compression
	method most appropriate for each region.
	The compact PDF format can be selected when converting docu-
	ments to data using the scanning functions of this machine.
Contrast	The difference in intensity between the light and dark parts of the im-
	age (light/dark variation). An image with little light/dark variation is
	said to have a low contrast, and an image with large light/dark vari-
	ation is said to have a high contrast.
Default	The initial settings. The settings first selected when the machine is
	turned on, or the settings first specified when the function is select-
	ed.
Default Gateway	A device, such as a computer or router, used as a “gateway” to ac-
	cess computers not on the same LAN
Density	An indication of the amount of darkness in the image
Density Adjustment	The function that adjusts the color tones of an output device, such
	as a printer or monitor
DHCP	Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol in
	which a client computer on a TCP/IP network automatically specifies
	the network settings from the server. With collective management of
	the IP address for DHCP clients on the DHCP server, you can avoid
	duplication of an address and you can build a network easily.
Dither	A method of using only black and white to create the illusion of dif-
	ferent shades of gray. The process is simpler than with error diffu-
	sion; however, some irregularities may occur.
