Description
The acronym for Line Printer Daemon. This is a platform-independent printer pro-
tocol running on the TCP/IP network. The protocol was originally developed for
BSD UNIX, and has become one of the printing protocols typically used among
general computers.
The acronym for Line Printer Request/Line Printer Daemon. This is a printing
method implemented via networks, used for Windows NT or UNIX based sys-
tems. It uses TCP/IP to output printing data from Windows or UNIX to a printer
on the network.
MAC is the acronym for Media Access Control. A MAC address is an ID number
unique to each Ethernet card, enabling sending or receiving data to or from other
Ethernet cards. A Mac address consists of 48-bit numbers. The first 24 bits are
controlled by IEEE and used to allocate a unique number to each manufacture,
whereas the latter 24 bits are used by each manufacturer to assign a unique
number to each card.
The operation of scanning a document optically, and converting the document
into image data.
The horizontal direction for scanning originals.
An operation to send a fax while checking the status of the receiver.
The acronym for Message Disposition Notifications,which is a message sent to
confirm that the mail has been unsealed, a response to a sender when the sender
requests for doing so.
A storage device used for storing data temporarily.
Some types of memory retain data even after the power is turned off, while others
not.
A condition where the fax memory becomes full while scanned documents or
temporarily stored documents are saved.
A method used to start a fax transmission after scanning originals and storing
them in memory. If memory transmission is used, the total number of pages are
automatically printed in the page number of the transmission source information
and an image of the first page of the sent document is printed in the transmission
report. However, the memory may become full if the document contains many
pages, or there is a large amount of information due to high image quality.
The acronym for Management Information Base, which defines the format of
management information for network devices that are collected using SNMP in
TCP/IP communication. Two types of MIB are provided, that is, the private MIB
specific to each manufacturer and the standardized MIB.
A TIFF file that contains multiple pages.
The acronym for Novell Distributed Print Services. This provides a high perform-
ance printing solution in NDS environments. By using the NDPS as a printer serv-
er, you can output from the desired printer, automatically download the printer
driver of a newly installed printer, simplify and automate complicated manage-
ment environments related to printer use, and integrate management related to
the network printer.
The acronym for Novell Directory Services.
This allows the centralized management in a hierarchical structure of shared re-
sources such as servers, printers and users information on the network, as well
as the access privilege and other information related to the users.
The abbreviation for Network Basic Input Output System,which is a communica-
tion interface developed by IBM.
A network operating system developed by Novell.
This uses NetWare IPX/SPX for the communication protocol.
A remote printer support module used when using a printer server in NetWare en-
vironments.
Rprinter is used for NetWare 3.x, and Nprinter for NetWare 4.x.
The acronym for NT LAN Manager, which is a user authentication method used
for Windows NT or later. NTLM encodes password using MD4 or MD5 encoding
method.
