Additional memory An additional memory (optional) is used for increasing the memory
capacity of this machine. For DIMM that can be used in this machine,
contact your service technician.
AppleTalk AppleTalk offers file sharing and printer sharing and it also enables you to
utilize application software that is on another computer on the same
AppleTalk network.
Default Gateway This indicates the device, such as a computer or router, that serves as the
entrance/exit (gateway) for accessing computers outside of the network
that you are on. When no specific gateway is designated for a destination
IP address, data is sent to the host that is designated as the Default
Gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host This is a protocol that automatically resolves the IP address, Subnet Mask
Configuration Protocol) and Gateway address on a TCP/IP network. Use of DHCP minimizes the
load of network administration, especially on network environments with a
large number of client computers where it is not specifically necessary to
assign a separate IP address to each client, including printers.
dpi (dots per inch) This indicates the number of dots printed per inch (25.4mm) as a unit for
expressing resolution.
EcoPrint This is a printing mode that reduces toner consumption. Pages printed in
the EcoPrint mode are lighter than pages printed in the normal mode.
Emulation This refers to emulation of other manufacturers' printers. The printer
emulates operation of the following printers: PCL6 and KPDL.
Form Feed Timeout While data is being sent to a printer, some pauses may occur. At this time,
the printer waits for the next data without making a page break. Form feed
timeout is a function to wait only a preset amount of time before it executes
an automatic page break. After the waiting period begins, once the
designated amount of time is exceeded, the printer will automatically
process the currently received data and print it out. If the machine has
received no print data for the last page, the printer ends processing of that
job without outputting paper.
IEEE1284 This is a standard used when connecting a printer to a computer, and was
established by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in 1994.
IP Address (Internet Protocol The Internet Protocol address is a unique number that represents a
Address) specific computer in a network. The format of an IP Address is four
numbers separated by dots, e.g. 192.168.110.171. Each number should
be a decimal between 0 and 255.
KPDL KPDL is Kyocera's implementation of the PostScript page description
language Level3.
