Radio frequency interference (RFI) shield: A metal shield enclosing the
printed circuit boards of the printer or computer to prevent radio
and TV interference. All computer equipment generates radio
frequency signals. The FCC regulates the amount of signals a
computing device can allow past its shielding. A Class A device is
sufficient for office use. Class B provides a more stringent
classification for home equipment use. TOSHIBA portable
computers comply with Class B computing device regulations.
Random Access Memory (RAM): High speed memory within the
computer circuitry that can be read or written to.
restart: Resetting a computer without turning it off (also called ‘warm
boot’ or ‘soft reset’). To restart the computer, press Ctrl + Alt + Del
while the computer is on. See also boot.
RCA jack: A single-pin connector that carries composite video signals,

ROM: Read Only Memory: A nonvolatile memory chip manufactured to
contain information that controls the computer’s basic operation.
You cannot access or change information stored in ROM.
RS-232C: The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) interface standard
that describes the 25-pin connector interface and control, data,
and status signals that allow asynchronous communications
between computers, printers, communications and other
peripheral devices.

SCSI: Small Computer System Interface is an industry standard interface
for connection of a variety of peripheral devices.
serial: The handling of data bits one after the other.
serial communications: A communications technique that uses as few
as two interconnecting wires to send bits one after another.
serial interface: Refers to a type of information exchange that transmits
information sequentially, one bit at a time. Contrast: Parallel
interface.
serial port: A communications port to which you can connect devices,
such as a modem, mouse, or serial printer.
SIO: Serial Input/Output. The electronic methodology used in serial data
transmission.
