IPv6 address A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on an IPv6 network. An IPv6 address consists of up to 8 groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons. Each groups contains up to 4 hexadecimal digits. Only a few new networks in the world use IPv6 addresses. LED Light-Emitting Diode: a semiconductor device that emits light when electrically stimulated. MAC address Media Access Control address: a unique identifier used to identify a particular device on a network. It is a lower-level identifier than the IP address. Thus, a device may have both a MAC address and an IP address. Network A network is a set of connections that pass data between computers and devices. Every device is able to communicate with every other device in the same network. This allows data to be moved between computers and devices, and allows devices such as printers to be shared between many computers. Nozzle One of many tiny holes in a printhead through which ink is deposited onto the paper. Paper A thin, flat material made to be written or printed on; most commonly made from fibers of some kind which are pulped, dried and pressed. Platen The flat surface within the printer over which the paper passes while it is being printed on. Printer driver Software that converts a print job in a generalized format into data suitable for a particular printer. Printhead A removable printer component that takes ink of one or more colors from the corresponding ink cartridge(s) and deposits it on the paper, through a cluster of nozzles. Spindle A rod that supports a roll of paper while it is being used for printing. TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: the communications protocols on which the Internet is based. USB Universal Serial Bus: a standard serial bus designed to connect devices to computers. Your printer supports Hi-Speed USB (sometimes called USB 2.0). USB host port A rectangular USB socket such as those on found on computers. A printer can control USB devices that are connected to such a port. 178 Glossary
