Address Book

The Address Book is a convenient directory that stores contact Phone Numbers

 

and Email Addresses for easy retrieval at a future time.

Address Book Dialing

A dialer that enables you to dial an entire Telephone Number/Email Address by

 

pressing one key.

ADF

The mechanism that delivers a stack of document pages to the scanner one

(Automatic Document Feeder)

page at a time.

CD-ROM

CD-ROM media is read-only media that holds about 650 MB of data. It's

 

generally accepted as the easiest way to distribute software. CD-ROM drives can

 

also read audio CDs even though they are in a different format than standard

 

CD-ROM media.

Contrast

Signifies the scanning sensitivity in terms of lightness and darkness of your

 

original pages. The degree of color or darkness of an image or photograph.

DDS

The Document Distribution System automatically distributes received data

(Document Distribution

(scanner data, data received via FAX, and data received via Internet Fax) to

System)

specified recipients via a predefined delivery mechanism. The system

 

administrator uses the system to specify the delivery mechanisms and the

 

recipients.

Dept. Code

This operation requires the user to input a preset number of digits (Department

(Department Code)

Code) before being given access to a function of the machine such as

 

transmission for example. The Department Name of selected Department Code is

 

printed on the Header of each page sent, Cover Sheet, Comm. Journal and

 

Individual Transmission Journal.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - a standard method for assigning IP

 

addresses automatically to the devices on a TCP/IP network. As a new device

 

connects, the DHCP server assigns an IP address from a list of available

 

addresses. The device retains this IP address for the duration of the session -

 

once the device disconnects the IP address becomes available for use again.

Disk Drive

A peripheral storage device that holds, spins, reads and writes magnetic or

 

optical disks. It may be a receptacle for disk cartridges, disk packs or floppy disks,

 

or it may contain non-removable disk platters like most hard disks.

dpi

Abbreviation of dots per inch, which indicates the resolution of images. The more

 

dots per inch, the higher the resolution. A common resolution for laser printers is

 

600 dots per inch. This means 600 dots across and 600 dots down, so there are

 

360,000 dots per square inch.

Drum

Along with the laser, this is one of the basic components of a laser printer. A light-

 

sensitive drum on which the image is generated by the laser beam as the pattern

 

of an electric charge. The toner particles adhere to this pattern after the drum has

 

brushed against the developing roller. (a.k.a. OPC Drum)

Fax Board

In a multi-functional device, this is a Fax capability built onto a printed circuit

 

board which can send and receive facsimiles. The multi-functional device is

 

normally able to scan a document and transmit it over a phone line to another fax

 

machine. Also, it can receive faxes from other machines and print them out.

FTP

Short for File Transfer Protocol, the protocol for exchanging files over the Internet.

 

FTP works in the same way as HTTP for transferring Web pages from a server to

 

a user's browser and SMTP for transferring electronic mail across the Internet in

 

that, like these technologies, FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable

 

data transfer.

 

FTP is most commonly used to download a file from a server using the Internet or

 

to upload a file to a server (Ex: uploading a Web page file to a server).

G3

Refers to the standards and transmission capabilities of the current generation of

(Group 3)

facsimile machines.
