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 page at

 

(Automatic Document Feeder)

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.

 

 

 

DDS

The Document Distribution System automatically distributes received data (scanner

(Document Distribution

data, data received via FAX, and data received via Internet Fax) to specified recipients

System)

via a predefined delivery mechanism. The system administrator uses the system to

 

specify the delivery mechanisms and the recipients.

Density

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.

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)

EXIF

Exchangeable Image File. A standard format used for storing interchange information

 

 

in digital photography image files using JPEG compression.

 

Ex: Dimensions, Date Picture Taken, Camera Model, File Type, Size

Fax Communication 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 (e.g., 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.
