Term | Definition |
MDN | Abbreviation for Message Disposition Notifications. A delivery confirmation message |
| that is sent back to the sender in response to such as request. |
|
|
Memory | Storage device for storing data temporally. When the power is turned off the data |
| may or may not be erased. |
|
|
Memory overflow | A condition where the fax memory becomes full while scanned documents or tem- |
| porarily stored documents are saved. |
|
|
Memory transmission | This is a procedure for starting a fax transmission after a document is scanned and |
| stored in the memory. If memory transmission is used, the total number of pages are |
| automatically printed in the page number of the transmission source information and |
| an image of the first page of the sent document is printed in the transmission report. |
| However, the memory may become full if there are many pages of the document or |
| if the data is large due to finely detailed images. |
|
|
MH | Abbreviation for Modified Huffman. A data compression encoding method for fax |
| transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/10 |
| their original size. |
|
|
MIB | Abbreviation for Management Information Base. In a TCP/IP transmission, this uses |
| SNMP to define the management information format for a group of network devices. |
| There are two formats: the |
| MIB. |
|
|
MMR | Abbreviation for Modified Modified Read. A data compression |
| fax transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/20 |
| their original size. |
|
|
Multi Page TIFF | A TIFF file that has multiple pages. |
|
|
NDPS | Abbreviation for Novell Distributed Print Services. Provides a highly efficient printing |
| solution in an NDS environment. By using the NDPS as a printer server, you can out- |
| put from the desired printer, automatically download the printer driver of a newly in- |
| stalled printer, simplify and automate complicated management environments |
| related to printer use, and integrate management related to the network printer. |
|
|
NDS | Abbreviation for Novell Directory Services. The servers and printers on a network |
| and the shared resources of the user’s information, as well as the user’s access au- |
| thority over these items can be consolidated in the hierarchy structure. |
|
|
NetBEUI | Abbreviation for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. A network protocol developed by |
| IBM. By simply specifying the computer name, you can build a |
|
|
NetBIOS | Abbreviation for Network Basic Input Output System. A communication interface de- |
| veloped by IBM. |
|
|
NetWare | Network operating system developed by Novell. NetWare IPX/SPX is used as the |
| communication protocol. |
|
|
No. of documents | Used for quick memory transmission to send the fax with the total number of pages. |
| This allows the recipient to check whether the all pages were received or not (In case |
| of memory transmission, the total no. of pages are automatically added). |
|
|
Nprinter/Rprinter | Remote printer support module for using a printer server under a NetWare environ- |
| ment. Use NetWare 3.x with Rprinter, and NetWare 4.x with Nprinter. |
|
|
NTLM | Abbreviation for NT LAN Manager. User authentication method used by Windows NT |
| or later. With the MD4 and MD5 encoding methods, passwords are encoded. |
|
|
NTP | Abbreviation for Network Time Protocol. The protocol for correctly adjusting the |
| computer’s internal clock over the network. In a hierarchical method, the time is ad- |
| justed with the server at the highest level using GPS to acquire the correct time, |
| which is then referenced by each lower level host. |
|
|
OCR | Abbreviation for Optical Character Reader. A device or software that converts hand- |
| written or printed documents to text data by optically scanning it and, through com- |
| parison with a previously stored pattern, specifies the characters. |
|
|
OHP/OHT | OHP (overhead projector) transparencies which are used for presentations. |

|
OS | Abbreviation for Operating System. Basic software for controlling the system of a |
| computer. |
|
|
Outline font | A font using lines and curves to display an outline of a character. |
| ters can be displayed on a screen or printed with no jagged edges. |
|
|
Overseas communication | This is a function to communicate with an overseas recipient. If an overseas commu- |
| nication mode is set, the fax is sent with a lower speed. Specifying an overseas |
| transmission mode ensures the fax transmission when faxing to the location where |
| transmission conditions are poor, even within the country. |
|
|
Password transmission | A function for sending a fax with a password. If the recipient’s fax machine is set for |
| closed network receptions, the sender’s fax machine should transmit a fax with the |
| password same as the closed network reception password. |
