SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol for sending messages from one
computer to another on a network.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. The network management protocol of TCP/IP.
In SNMP, agents, which can be hardware as well as software, monitor the activity of
the various devices on the network and report to the network console workstation.
SNMP v. 1
Used for read only access when used in conjunction with SNMP v. 3 for setting MIB
Access Permission levels. Can be set to [Read/Write] if security is not necessary.
SNMP v. 3
Management functions of SNMPv. 3 enable different permission levels for security, if
used in conjunction with SNMP v. 1.
SNTP
Simple Network Time Protocol. A simplified version of NTP. This protocol enables
computers in a network to synchronize their system times with a public time server
used around the world. The time public NTP servers provide is generally accurate to
within milliseconds.
Spool
Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line. Spooling means putting jobs in a buffer,
which is a special area in memory or on a disk. Devices access data at different rates.
The buffer provides a holding area where the data is held until the device for which it
is meant is ready to access it.
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer. A protocol that ensures security and privacy when transmitting
private documents over the Internet.
SSL encryption
SSL uses two keys to encrypt data: a public key, which is known to "everyone," and a
private or secret key, which is known only to the recipient of the message.
Stamp
Applies a stamp (about 1/8" (3 mm) in diameter) on the front side of originals after
they have been scanned, so that you can distinguish already scanned originals from
others.
Standard
Use this setting to send normal, typewritten, or printed documents containing only
text and no drawings, photographs, or illustrations. See Fine, Super Fine, and Ultra
Fine.
