Spool
Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On-Line. Spooling means putting jobs in a
buffer, which is a special area in memory or on a disk. Devices access data at
different rates. The buffer provides a holding area where the data is held until the
device for which it is meant is ready to access it.
Stamp
Applies a stamp (about 1/8" (3 mm) in diameter) on the front side of originals after
they have been scanned, so that you can distinguish already scanned originals from
others.
STP
Shielded Twisted Pair cable. A cable consisting of one or more twisted pairs of wires
and a sheath of foil and copper braid. The twists protect the wires from interference
from each other, and the shielding protects the wires from interference from outside.
Therefore, an STP cable can be used for high-speed transmissions over long
distances.
Subaddress
Subaddress is the global telecommunications standard specified by the ITU-T
(International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Standardization Sector).
When the remote party's machine supports the same standard, confidential or
relayed communications are possible by attaching a subaddress and a password in
advance.
Subaddress Books
The main Address Book is subdivided into 10 smaller address books, which are
considered subaddress books.
Subnet
A portion of a network, which may be a physically independent network segment, that
shares a network address with other portions of the network, and is distinguished by
a subnet number.
For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 100.100.100. would be part
of the same subnet.
Subnet Mask
The method used to determine to which subgroup, or subnet, an IP address belongs.
On TCP/IP networks, all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix would
belong to the same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security
and performance reasons.
Super Fine
A resolution mode for sending originals at four times the detail of the Standard
resolution mode. If the receiving machine does not support this mode, the document
is automatically sent in the Fine mode.
