PDF
Portable Document Format. The page description language used in Adobe Systems'
Acrobat document exchange system, which is restricted neither by device nor
resolution. PDF displays documents in a way that is independent of the original
application software, hardware, and operating system used to create those
documents. A PDF document can contain any combination of text, graphics, and
images.
PDF (Compact)
One of the file formats available in this machine. The text and image portions of an
original are processed separately to achieve a high level of compression without
compromising the quality of the text. The resulting file or data size is smaller than that
achieved by conventional PDF, and is therefore recommended for jobs that are to be
sent over the network.
PDF (OCR)
A file format that performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing on a
scanned document. This process extracts any recognizable text data, and adds it as a
transparent layer to create a PDF with searchable text. You can search the text using
Adobe Reader/Acrobat Reader/Acrobat, or your operating system's search function.
PDF (Trace)
A file format that converts the text and the line drawing portions of an original to
scalable outline data. The outline data (Trace) can be extracted and used in Adobe
Illustrator. The smoothing process can also be applied to the text of the outline data,
so it has less of a jagged edge when seen on a PC monitor or in print.
Phase type
Describes an AppleTalk network. Phase 1 refers to the original version of AppleTalk
introduced in 1985, which supports LocalTalk and Ethernet networks. Phase 2 refers
to the version with extended addressing features, which was introduced in 1989.
PIN Code
Personal Identification Number Code. To prevent unauthorized access to telephone
lines, some PBX (Private Branch Exchange) systems require that a PIN code be
entered when making a call or sending a document. Depending on the PBX system,
the PIN code may be entered before the number as a prefix, or after the number as a
suffix. If your PBX needs a PIN code to connect to an outside line, you can specify the
user data settings of the machine so that it prompts you for a PIN code every time you
dial.
Processing/Data indicator
The Processing/Data indicator blinks a green light when the machine is performing
operations, and maintains a steady green light when documents are stored in
memory.
