19 Glossary

PDL

An abbreviation of Page-Description Language. This refers to

 

a programming language, such as PostScript, that is used to

 

describe output to a printer or a display device, which then

 

uses the instructions from the PDL to construct text and

 

graphics and create the required page image.

Peer-to-Peer

A network environment in which the nodes communicate

 

directly with other nodes. Windows for Workgroups, NetWare

 

Lite, and Macintosh System 7 are examples of peer-to-peer

 

networking products.

PostScript

PostScript is a page description language (PDL) developed by

 

Adobe Systems. It is an object-oriented language, meaning

 

that it treats images, including fonts, as collections of

 

geometrical objects rather than as bitmaps. PostScript is the

 

standard for desktop publishing because it is widely supported

 

by both hardware and software vendors.

Print driver

See Driver.

Protocol

The rules that control the transmitting and receiving of data.

Queue

A place where jobs are stored temporarily, while they are

 

waiting to be processed. A print queue will hold several print

 

jobs.

RARP

An abbreviation of Reverse Address Resolution Protocol. This

 

is a method for providing IP Addresses to nodes on a network.

 

When a node powers up, it broadcasts a RARP packet

 

containing its Ethernet Address. The RARP server receives

 

the packet and sends the IP Address back to the node.

Router

A device that directs network packets to the segment of the

 

network for which the packet is intended, and excludes

 

packets that are not intended for a segment. Routers reduce

 

unnecessary network traffic and control access to segments

 

of the network.

SSDP

An abbreviation of Simple Service Discovery Protocol.

SMB

An abbreviation of Server Message Block. A protocol used to

 

to share files or printers on Windows OS.

SNMP

An abbreviation of Simple Network Management Protocol. A

 

protocol used to help manage complex networks.

SPX

An abbreviation of Sequenced Packet Exchange. SPX is part

 

of NetWare. It makes sure that packets are received in the

 

correct order and that there are no errors.

Subnet Mask

A mask used to identify which part of an IP Address is the

 

Subnet Address and which part is the host (or device)

 

address.

TBCP Filter

An abbreviation of Tagged Binary Control Protocol. This filter

 

is only available when PostScript is enabled.

7232, 7242 specifications

The Xerox 7232 and Xerox 7242 are multifunctional printers that have garnered attention for their reliability, efficiency, and advanced features, making them suitable for various business environments. Both models are part of Xerox's Color Qube series, which utilizes solid ink technology, standing out from traditional laser printers.

One of the hallmark features of the Xerox 7232 and 7242 is their exceptional print quality. Capable of producing high-resolution color documents, these printers utilize solid ink sticks, which melt and adhere to the paper, resulting in vibrant colors and sharp details. The high-quality output is ideal for marketing materials, presentations, and professional documents.

In terms of performance, the Xerox 7232 offers a print speed of up to 32 pages per minute (ppm) for black and white documents and 32 ppm for color documents. The Xerox 7242 enhances this capability with a faster output of up to 42 ppm in both black and white and color. This efficiency minimizes wait times and supports higher productivity in busy office settings.

Both models feature robust scanning capabilities, with the ability to scan documents at impressive speeds. They provide options for dual-sided scanning, which not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to environmentally friendly practices by reducing paper usage. Users can easily convert printed materials into digital formats, enabling streamlined document management and sharing.

Another significant aspect of the Xerox 7232 and 7242 is their comprehensive connectivity options. These printers support various network protocols, allowing seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures. They are compatible with mobile printing solutions, enabling users to print directly from smartphones and tablets, adding to the convenience and accessibility of these machines.

The user interface of both models is designed for ease of use. A color touchscreen display provides intuitive navigation through the printer's features and settings. This user-friendly approach simplifies everyday tasks, allowing staff to operate the printers with minimal training.

In addition to their operational features, the Xerox 7232 and 7242 are designed with sustainability in mind. The solid ink technology significantly reduces waste compared to traditional toner cartridges, making them an environmentally responsible choice for businesses looking to minimize their ecological footprint.

Overall, the Xerox 7232 and 7242 multifunction printers combine advanced technology, superior print quality, and sustainability, making them excellent choices for businesses aiming to enhance their document processing capabilities.
