Additional memory
An additional memory module (optional) is used for increasing the memory capacity of this machine.
For DIMM that can be used in this machine, contact your service technician.
AppleTalk
AppleTalk offers file sharing and printer sharing and it also enables you to utilize application
software that is on another computer on the same AppleTalk network.
Default Gateway
This indicates the device, such as a computer or router, that serves as the entrance/exit (gateway)
for accessing computers outside of the network that you are on. When no specific gateway is
designated for a destination IP address, data is sent to the host that is designated as the Default
Gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
This is a protocol that automatically resolves the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway address on
a TCP/IP network. Use of DHCP minimizes the load of network administration, especially on
network environments with a large number of client computers where it is not specifically necessary
to assign a separate IP address to each client, including printers.
dpi (dots per inch)
This indicates the number of dots printed per inch (25.4mm) as a unit for expressing resolution.
Emulation
This refers to emulation of other manufacturers’ printers. The printer emulates operation of the
following printers:
PCL6, KPDL, and KC-GL.
Form Feed Timeout
While data is being sent to a printer, some pauses may occur. At this time, the printer waits for the
next data without making a page break. Form feed timeout is a function to wait only a preset amount
of time before it executes an automatic page break. After the waiting period begins, once the
designated amount of time is exceeded, the printer will automatically process the currently received
data and print it out. If the machine has received no print data for the last page, the printer ends
processing of that job without outputting paper.
IEEE1284
This is a standard used when connecting a printer to a computer, and was established by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in 1994.
IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
The Internet Protocol address is a unique number that represents a specific computer in a network.
