A
Activity Report
A record listing all documents that have been sent and received.
ADF
Automatic Document Feeder. Originals placed in the feeder are automatically fed
sheet by sheet to the platen glass for scanning. The feeder also automatically turns
over two-sided originals to make one- or two-sided prints.
ASCII code
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a set of standardized
codes used to represent letters, numbers, punctuation marks, a few symbols, and
control characters. A seven digit (or seven bit) binary number can represent one of
128 distinct codes.
Authentication
A system process which validates a user's logon information. The user's name and
password must be registered in the system beforehand, and if the system detects a
match, access is granted, depending on the user's access rights and permissions.
Auto Redial
When Auto Redial is set to 'On', the machine automatically redials the recipient's
facsimile number if the line is busy, or if there is a sending error. The machine will wait
two minutes (default) after the initial attempt before redialing. You can specify the
number of times that the machine redials, the length of the redial interval, and
whether to redial after a transmission error.
B
BOOTP
BOOTstrap Protocol. A protocol that enables a client machine to automatically obtain
network setup information from a server over a TCP/IP network. BOOTP enables a
client to automatically locate such information as the host name, domain name, and
IP address, so that it is not necessary to enter these items manually.
bps
Bits per second. The measure of transmission speed used in relationship to networks
and communication lines.
