SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard for e-mail
transmissions across the Internet. SMTP is a relatively simple, text-
based protocol, where one or more recipients of a message are
specified, and then the message text is transferred. It is a client-
server protocol, where the client transmits an email message to the
server.
SSID
Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name of a wireless local area network
(WLAN). All wireless devices in a WLAN use the same SSID in order to
communicate with each other. The SSIDs are case-sensitive and have
a maximum length of 32 characters.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used in conjunction with the network address to
determine which part of the address is the network address and
which part is the host address.
TCP/IP

(IP); the set of communications protocols that implement the
protocol stack on which the Internet and most commercial networks
run.
TCR

transmission such as job status, transmission result and number of
pages sent. This report can be set to print after each job or only after
failed transmissions.
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a variable-resolution bitmapped
image format. TIFF describes image data that typically come from
scanners. TIFF images make use of tags, keywords defining the
characteristics of the image that is included in the file. This flexible
and platform-independent format can be used for pictures that have
been made by various image processing applications.
