C CMYK "Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y) and Black (K). CMYK is the standard
color model used for offset printing of full-color documents, using the secondary
colors of light (plus black). CMYK is a subtractive process, which subtracts
reflected colors from white. The CMY color model uses cyan, magenta, and yellow to
create colors throughout the spectrum. The combination of cyan, magenta, and yellow
in equal amounts results in no reflection of light (black). One of the most
difficult aspects of color printing is color matching, which is properly converting
RGB color into CMYK colors, so that what gets printed looks the same as what
appears on the display. The four colors are printed on paper as layers of halftone
dots in varying sizes and angles to create the illusion of different colors."
C Copy Ratio/Zoom Ratio Numeric representation for the reduction or
enlargement of an original.
D dpi Dots Per Inch. A measure of screen and printer resolution that is
expressed as the number of dots that a device can print or display per linear inch.
E Error indicator The Error indicator blinks or lights for trouble such as
memory shortage or the machine has run out of paper.
F File formats "File formats are used to save image data. This machine
supports four different file formats, TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PDF (Compact)."
I Interface "The connection between two devices that makes it possible for
them to communicate with each other. The machine features a USB interface, which
makes it compatible with IBM and similar personal computers."
I Interface cable The cable used to create the interface between a printer
and a computer.
J JPEG "Joint Photographic Experts Group. An experts group file specification
that defines a standard for compressing (reducing the size of) photographic and
photorealistic image files. The image compression method used involves some loss of
information, and so reduces image quality. Files containing photographic images in
Web pages are generally compressed by using the JPEG format so they can be
transferred across the Internet more quickly."
L Log on Entering a user name and password as a means of user
authentication to start a computer session or gain access to a service.
P Paper feed Refers to guiding a sheet of paper into the machine's paper path.
P PDF "Portable Document Format. The page description language used in Adobe
Systems' Acrobat document exchange system, which is restricted neither by device
nor resolution. PDF displays documents in a way that is independent of the original
application software, hardware, and operating system used to create those
documents. A PDF document can contain any combination of text, graphics, and
images."
P PDF (Compact) "One of the file formats available in this machine. The
text and image portions of an original are processed separately to achieve a higher
compression ratio than normal PDF files. The resulting file or data size is smaller
than that achieved by conventional PDF, and is therefore recommended for jobs that
are to be sent over the network."
R Resolution "The density of dots attained by a device, such as a fax,
scanner, or printer, in producing an image. Expressed in terms of dots per inch
(dpi). Low resolution causes font characters and graphics to have a jagged
appearance. Higher resolution means smoother curves and angles, as well as a better
match to traditional typeface designs. Resolution values are represented by
horizontal and vertical dimensions (e.g., 600 x 600 dpi)."
R RGB "Red (R), Green (G), and Blue (B) are the three primary colors of
light. RGB is the standard color model used in computer/television monitors,
scanners, and digital cameras. RGB is an additive system (colors are added to a
black background), typically produced by emitted light. The RGB color model blends
varying intensities of red, green, and blue light to create colors throughout the
spectrum. A combination of these colors in equal amounts produces white."
S Scanning Area "The area actually scanned is slightly smaller than the
size of the original document. Therefore, words or images near the edges of the
document may not be scanned. As a result, make sure that there is some margin space
on all sides of the document you are sending."
S Standby The mode in which the machine is on and ready to use.
T TIFF "Tagged Image File Format. A file format that saves images as high-
density bitmaps, and is suitable for large amounts of image data. The information
field (tag) at the start of each image data record indicates the type of data
represented."
T Toner Resin coated powder contained in the toner cartridge. The machine
applies the toner to the surface of the photosensitive drum inside the machine via
an electrophotographic mechanism.
U URL "Uniform Resource Locator. A method for specifying the location of an
object on the Internet, such as a Web page. The URL for a Web page would look
something like this: "[Link] Here,
"http:" indicates that the resource is supplied using the HTTP protocol,
"[Link]" is the address of the server containing the Web page, and
"[Link]" is the file name under which the Web page is stored on the
server."
U USB port "The machine comes with one USB port, located on the back of the
machine. You attach the cable that connects your computer and machine to this
port."
Y YCbCr "YCbCr is a color space used in video systems. Y is the luminance
component, and Cb and Cr the chrominance components. YCbCr was defined in the ITU-
601 (formerly CCIR-602) standard for use with digital component video."
