PC fax An electronic way to send and receive faxes from your computer. A PC fax is sent from or received in a computer. Using the printer you can send and receive PC faxes and the MultiPASS Suite lets you save, sort, and print the PC faxes. portrait orientation The vertical orientation of your document or image across the width of the page (letter style). This is the opposite of landscape orientation. printer driver Software that sends printing instructions to a printer. The printer driver keeps track of the attributes of a printer and the codes a program must send to access those attributes. T threshold In a bilevel (single bit) image, the point at which a gray pixel is determined to become black or white. TWAIN Both a protocol and an application programmer's interface (API) that allows you to input image data directly from any source (for example: desktop and handheld scanners, video capture boards, digital cameras, and other imaging equipment) without requiring you to switch out of the application. It provides compatibility between image input devices and applications by acting as the liaison between hardware devices and software applications. Because your printer supports TWAIN, you can use the scanning features of the printer with any Windows application that supports TWAIN. Twain, the industry standard, was developed by the TWAIN working group which consists of representatives from many leaders in the scanner hardware and software industry. U USB Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a connectivity specification for attaching peripherals to computers. It eliminates the need to install cards into dedicated computer slots and reconfigure the system. Glossary 153

print the PC faxes.
portrait orientation
The vertical orientation of your document or image across the width of
the page (letter style). This is the opposite of landscape orientation.
printer driver

keeps track of the attributes of a printer and the codes a program must
send to access those attributes.
T
threshold
In a bilevel (single bit) image, the point at which a gray pixel is
determined to become black or white.
TWAIN
Both a protocol and an application programmer
s interface (API) that
allows you to input image data directly from any source (for example:
desktop and handheld scanners, video capture boards, digital cameras,
and other imaging equipment) without requiring you to switch out of the
application. It provides compatibility between image input devices and
applications by acting as the liaison between hardware devices and
software applications. Because your printer supports TWAIN, you can
use the scanning features of the printer with any Windows application
that supports TWAIN. Twain, the industry standard, was developed by
the TWAIN working group which consists of representatives from many
leaders in the scanner hardware and software industry.
U

peripherals to computers. It eliminates the need to install cards into
dedicated computer slots and reconfigure the system.
