Additional memory
An additional memory (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.
Auto-IP
Auto-IP is a module that enables dynamic IPv4 addresses to be assigned to a device on startup. However, DHCP requires
a DHCP server. Auto-IP is a server-less method of choosing an IP address. IP addresses between 169.254.0.0 to
169.254.255.255 are reserved for Auto-IP and assigned automatically.
Bonjour
Bonjour, also known as zero-configuration networking, is a service that automatically detects computers, devices and
services on an IP network. Bonjour, because an industry-standard IP protocol is used, allows devices to automatically
recognize each other without an IP address being specified or DNS server being set. Bonjour also sends and receives
network packets by UDP port 5353. If a firewall is enabled, the user must check that UDP port 5353 is left open so that
Bonjour will run correctly. Some firewalls are set up so as to reject only certain Bonjour packets. If Bonjour does not run
stably, check the firewall settings and ensure that Bonjour is registered on the exceptions list and that Bonjour packets are
accepted. If you install Bonjour on Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, the Windows firewall will be set up correctly for
Bonjour.
Custom Box
The Custom Box function stores print data for each individual user on the printer and allows the user to print single or
multiple copies of the stored data later using the printer's operation panel.
DDSN (Dynamic Domain Name System)
A Dynamic Domain Name System (DDSN) is a system for providing a fixed host name for IP addresses which change
dynamically.
By updating the correspondence between the host name registered and the IP address as the IP address changes, it is
possible to connect with the same host name even when the IP address has changed.
Default Gateway
This indicates the device, such as a computer or router, which serves as the entrance/exit (gateway) for accessing
computers outside the network that you are on. When no specific gateway is designated for a destination IP address, data
is sent to the host designated as the Default Gateway.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) that automatically resolves IP addresses, subnet masks, and gateway
addresses on a TCP/IP network. DHCP minimizes the load of network management employing a large number of client
computers because it relieves individual clients including printers from the IP address being assigned.
dpi (dots per inch)
A unit for resolution, representing the number of dots printed per inch (25.4 mm).
EcoPrint
This is a printing mode that reduces toner consumption. Pages printed in the EcoPrint mode are lighter than pages printed
in the normal mode.
