Table B-1 Glossary of terms (continued) IPM The Images Per Minute (IPM) is a method of measuring the speed of a printer. An IPM rate indicates the number of single-sided sheets a printer can complete in one minute. IPP The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) defines a standard protocol for printing and managing print jobs, media size, resolution, etc. IPP can be used locally, or over the internet to reach hundreds of devices, and also supports access control, authentication, and encryption, making it a capable and secure printing solution. ISO The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from national standards bodies. In produces world-wide industrial and commercial standards. JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) is a commonly used standard method of loss compression for photographic images. It is the format used for storing and transmitting photographs on the World Wide Web. LDAP The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is a networking protocol for querying and modifying directory services running over TCP / IP. LED A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the status of a printer. LEF Long Edge Feed, rotation of the media by 90 degrees when loaded into the cassette tray. The longer edge of the media is fed into the device first. LSU Laser scanner unit forms a latent image on the surface of the OPC drum. MAC address Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier associated with a network adapter. MAC address is a unique 48-bit identifier usually written as 12 hexadecimal characters grouped in pairs (e.g., 00-00-0c-34-11-4e). This address is usually hard-coded into a Network Interface Card (NIC) by the manufacturer, and used as an aid for routers trying to locate printers on a large network. MFP Multi-Function Printer (MFP) is an office device that includes multiple functionality in one physical body, such as a printer, copier, fax, scanner, etc. Modem A device that modulates a carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode transmitted information. NFC Near field communications allows you to directly print from your mobile device just by holding your mobile device over the NFC tag on the Wireless/NFC LAN option. Need a NFC supported mobile device. N-up Prints two or more originals images, reduced to fit onto one sheet of paper. Offset When printing multiple copies, this option shifts the output position of each set. OPC Organic Photo Conductor (OPC) is a mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam emitted from a laser printer. It is usually green or rust colored and has a cylinder shape. An imaging unit containing a drum slowly wears the drum surface during its usage in the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately due to wear from contact with the cartridge development brush, cleaning mechanism, and paper. Originals The first example of something, such as a document, photograph, or text which is copied, reproduced, or translated to produce additional copies. The original itself is not copied or derived from something else. Overlay An overlay is text and / or images stored on the computer hard drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take place of letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing exactly the same information that is on your letterhead. PCL Printer Command Language (PCL) is a Page Description Language (PDL) developed by HP as a printer protocol. PCL has become an industry standard. Originally developed for early Inkjet printers, PCL has been released in varying levels for thermal, dot matrix printers and laser printers. PDF Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems. A PDF represents two dimension documents in a device independent and resolution independent format. PostScript (PS) PostScript (PS) is a page description language and programming language used primarily in electronic and desktop publishing. PostScript is run in an interpreter to generate an image.

letterhead.
PCL
Printer Command Language (PCL) is a Page Description Language (PDL) developed by HP as a printer protocol.
PCL has become an industry standard. Originally developed for early Inkjet printers, PCL has been released in
