6. Reference Information
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the standard for e-mail transmissions across the Internet.
SMTP is a relatively simple, text based protocol, where one or more recipients of a message are
specified, and then the message text is transferred. It is a client server protocol, where the client
transmits an email message to the server.
SSID
Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name of a wireless local area network (WLAN). All wireless devices
in a WLAN use the same SSID in order to communicate with each other. The SSIDs are case-sensitive
and have a maximum length of 32 characters.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used in conjunction with the network address to determine which part of the
address is the network address and which part is the host address.
TCP/IP
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP); the set of communications
protocols that implement the protocol stack on which the Internet and most commercial networks run.
TCR
Transmission Confirmation Report (TCR) provides details of each transmission such as job status,
transmission result and number of pages sent. This report can be set to print after each job or only
after failed transmissions.
TIFF
Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) is a variable-resolution bitmapped image format. TIFF describes
image data that typically come from scanners. TIFF images make use of tags, keywords defining the
characteristics of the image that is included in the file. This flexible and platform-independent format
can be used for pictures that have been made by various image processing applications.
Toner Cartridge
A kind of bottle or container used in a machine like a printer which contains toner. Toner is a powder
used in laser printers and photocopiers, which forms the text and images on the printed paper. Toner
can be fused by a combination of heat/pressure from the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in
the paper.
TWAIN
An industry standard for scanners and software. By using a TWAINcompliant scanner with a
TWAIN-compliant program, a scan can be initiated from within the program. It is an image capture
API for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems.
UNC Path
Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) is a standard way to access network shares in Window NT and
other Microsoft products. The format of a UNC path is: \\<servername>\<sharename>\<Additional
directory>
URL
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and resources on the Internet.
The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or
the domain name where the resource is located.
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc., to
connect computers and peripherals. Unlike the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect
a single computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
Watermark
A watermark is a recognizable image or pattern in paper that appears lighter when viewed by
transmitted light. Watermarks were first introduced in Bologna, Italy in 1282; they have been used by
papermakers to identify their product, and also on postage stamps, currency, and other government
documents to discourage counterfeiting.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in IEEE 802.11 to provide the same
level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP provides security by encrypting data over radio so that
it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.
WIA
Windows Imaging Architecture (WIA) is an imaging architecture that is originally introduced in
Windows Me and Windows XP. A scan can be initiated from within these operating systems by
using a WIAcompliant scanner.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks,
which was created to improve upon the security features of WEP.
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) is special mode of WPA for small business or home users. A
shared key, or password, is configured in the wireless access point (WAP) and any wireless laptop or
desktop devices. WPA-PSK generates a unique key for each session between a wireless client and the
associated WAP for more advanced security.
