6. Reference InformationIEEE The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an international non-profit, professionalorganization for the advancement of technology related to electricity.IEEE 1284The 1284 parallel port standard was developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). The term "1284-B" refers to a specific connector type on the end of the parallel cable thatattaches to the peripheral (for example, a printer).IntranetA private network that uses Internet Protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the publictelecommunication system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations withits employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal website.IP address An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique number that devices use in order to identify andcommunicate with each other on a network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard.IPM The Images Per Minute (IPM) is a way of measuring the speed of a printer. An IPM rate indicates thenumber of single-sided sheets a printer can complete within one minute.IPPThe Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) defines a standard protocol for printing as well as managing printjobs, media size, resolution, and so forth. IPP can be used locally or over the Internet to hundredsof printers, and also supports access control, authentication, and encryption, making it a much morecapable and secure printing solution than older ones.IPX/SPXIPX/SPX stands for Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange. It is a networkingprotocol used by the Novell NetWare operating systems. IPX and SPX both provide connectionservices similar to TCP/IP, with the IPX protocol having similarities to IP, and SPX having similaritiesto TCP. IPX/SPX was primarily designed for local area networks (LANs), and is a very efficientprotocol for this purpose (typically its performance exceeds that of TCP/IP on a LAN).ISOThe International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting bodycomposed of representatives from national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial andcommercial standards.ITU-TThe International Telecommunication Union is an international organization established to standardizeand regulate international radio and telecommunications. Its main tasks include standardization,allocation of the radio spectrum, and organizing interconnection arrangements between differentcountries to allow international phone calls. A -T out of ITU-T indicates telecommunication.ITU-T No. 1 chart Standardized test chart published by ITU-T for document facsimile transmissions.JBIGJoint Bi-level Image Experts Group (JBIG) is an image compression standard with no loss of accuracyor quality, which was designed for compression of binary images, particularly for faxes, but canalso be used on other images.JPEGJoint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is a most commonly used standard method of lossycompression for photographic images. It is the format used for storing and transmitting photographson the World Wide Web.LDAP The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a networking protocol for querying andmodifying directory services running over TCP/IP.LED A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the status of a machine.MAC addressMedia Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier associated with a network adapter. MACaddress is a unique 48-bit identifier usually written as 12 hexadecimal characters grouped in pairs (e.g., 00-00-0c-34-11-4e). This address is usually hard-coded into a Network Interface Card (NIC) by itsmanufacturer, and used as an aid for routers trying to locate machines on large networks.MFP Multi Function Peripheral (MFP) is an office machine that includes the following functionality in onephysical body, so as to have a printer, a copier, a fax, a scanner and etc.MHModified Huffman (MH) is a compression method for decreasing the amount of data that needs to betransmitted between the fax machines to transfer the image recommended by ITU-T T.4. MH is acodebook-based run-length encoding scheme optimized to efficiently compress white space. As mostfaxes consist mostly of white space, this minimizes the transmission time of most faxes.MMR Modified Modified READ (MMR) is a compression method recommended by ITU-T T.6.Copyright© 1995-2012 SAMSUNG.
