IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an international non-profit, professional organi-
zation for the advancement of technology related to electricity.
IEEE 1284
The 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 that attaches to the
peripheral (for example, a printer).
Intranet
A private network that uses Internet Protocols, network connectivity, and possibly the public telecommunica-
tion system to securely share part of an organization's information or operations with its employees. Some-
times 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 and communicate 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 the number of
single-sided sheets a printer can complete within one minute.
IPP
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) defines a standard protocol for printing as well as managing print jobs,
media size, resolution, and so forth. IPP can be used locally or over the Internet to hundreds of printers, and
also supports access control, authentication, and encryption, making it a much more capable and secure
printing solution than older ones.
IPX/SPX
IPX/SPX stands for Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange. It is a networking protocol used by
the Novell NetWare operating systems. IPX and SPX both provide connection services similar to TCP/IP, with
the IPX protocol having similarities to IP, and SPX having similarities to TCP. IPX/SPX was primarily designed
for local area networks (LANs), and is a very efficient protocol for this purpose (typically its performance
exceeds that of TCP/IP on a LAN).
ISO
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of
representatives from national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and commercial standards.
ITU-T
The International Telecommunication Union is an international organization established to standardize and
regulate international radio and telecommunications. Its main tasks include standardization, allocation of the
radio spectrum, and organizing interconnection arrangements between different countries to allow interna-
tional phone calls. A -T out of ITU-T indicates telecommunication.
