The Address Book is a convenient directory that stores contact Phone Numbers
and Email Addresses for easy retrieval at a future time.
A dialer that enables you to dial an entire Telephone Number/Email Address by
pressing one key.
The mechanism that delivers a stack of document pages to the scanner one
page at a time.
CD-ROM media is read-only media that holds about 650 MB of data. It's
generally accepted as the easiest way to distribute software. CD-ROM drives can
also read audio CDs even though they are in a different format than standard
CD-ROM media.
Signifies the scanning sensitivity in terms of lightness and darkness of your
original pages. The degree of color or darkness of an image or photograph.
The
Document Distribution System
automatically distributes received data
(scanner data, data received via FAX, and data received via Internet Fax) to
specified recipients via a predefined delivery mechanism. The system
administrator uses the system to specify the delivery mechanisms and the
recipients.
This operation requires the user to input a preset number of digits (Department
Code) before being given access to a function of the machine such as
transmission for example. The Department Name of selected Department Code is
printed on the Header of each page sent, Cover Sheet, Comm. Journal and
Individual Transmission Journal.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
- a standard method for assigning IP
addresses automatically to the devices on a TCP/IP network. As a new device
connects, the DHCP server assigns an IP address from a list of available
addresses. The device retains this IP address for the duration of the session -
once the device disconnects the IP address becomes available for use again.
A peripheral storage device that holds, spins, reads and writes magnetic or
optical disks. It may be a receptacle for disk cartridges, disk packs or floppy disks,
or it may contain non-removable disk platters like most hard disks.
Abbreviation of
dots per inch
, which indicates the resolution of images. The more
dots per inch, the higher the resolution. A common resolution for laser printers is
600 dots per inch. This means 600 dots across and 600 dots down, so there are
360,000 dots per square inch.
Along with the laser, this is one of the basic components of a laser printer. A light-
sensitive drum on which the image is generated by the laser beam as the pattern
of an electric charge. The toner particles adhere to this pattern after the drum has
brushed against the developing roller. (a.k.a. OPC Drum)
In a multi-functional device, this is a Fax capability built onto a printed circuit
board which can send and receive facsimiles. The multi-functional device is
normally able to scan a document and transmit it over a phone line to another fax
machine. Also, it can receive faxes from other machines and print them out.
Short for
File Transfer Protocol
, the protocol for exchanging files over the Internet.
FTP works in the same way as HTTP for transferring Web pages from a server to
a user's browser and SMTP for transferring electronic mail across the Internet in
that, like these technologies, FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable
data transfer.
FTP is most commonly used to download a file from a server using the Internet or
to upload a file to a server (Ex: uploading a Web page file to a server).
Refers to the standards and transmission capabilities of the current generation of
facsimile machines.
