Glossary
Gigabyte Ethernet
: An Ethernet network capable of transferring data at up to
1000,000,000 bits/second. Fast Ethernet interfaces are capable of negotiating
slower speeds when required for compatibility with older Ethernet devices.
Hi-Speed USB
: A version of USB, sometimes called USB 2.0, that can run 40
times faster than original USB, but is otherwise compatible with original USB.
Most personal computers today use Hi-Speed USB.
HP RTL
: Hewlett-Packard Raster Transfer Language: a language defined by HP
to describe raster (bitmap) graphics.
HP-GL/2
: Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language 2: a language defined by HP to
describe vector graphics.
I/O
: Input/Output: this term describes the passing of data between one device and
another.
ICC
: The International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed
on a common standard for color profiles.
Ink cartridge
: A removable printer component that stores ink of a particular color
and provides it to the printhead.
IP address
: May mean an IPv4 address (most likely) or an IPv6 address.
IPSec
: A sophisticated mechanism for providing network security by
authenticating and encrypting IP packets sent between nodes on a network. Each
network node (computer or device) has an IPSec configuration. Applications are
usually unaware whether IPSec is being used or not.
IPv4 address
: A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on an IPv4
network. An IPv4 address consists of four integers separated by full stops. Most
networks in the world use IPv4 addresses.
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.
