Emulation
The function to interpret and execute other printers' page description languages.
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.
IP Address (Internet Protocol Address)
An Internet protocol address is a unique number that represents a specific computer or related device on the network. The
format of an IP address is four sets of numbers separated by dots, e.g. 192.168.110.171. Each number should be between
0 and 255.
IPP
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) is a standard that uses TCP/IP networks such as the Internet to enable print jobs to be sent
between remote computers and printers. IPP is an extension of the HTTP protocol used to view websites and enables
printing to be carried out via routers on printers in remote locations. It also supports the HTTP authentication mechanisms
along with SSL server and client authentication as well as encryption.
Job Box
The Job Box function stores print data on the printer and allows users to print single or multiple copies of the stored data
later using the printer's operation panel.
KPDL
Kyocera's PostScript page description language compatible with Adobe PostScript Level 3.
Multi Purpose (MP) Tray
Use this tray instead of the cassettes when printing onto envelopes, Hagaki, transparencies, or labels.
NetBEUI (NetBIOS Extended User Interface)
An interface, developed by IBM in 1985, as an update from NetBIOS. It enables more advanced functions on smaller
networks than other protocols such as TCP/IP, etc. It is not suitable for larger networks due to lack of routing capabilities to
choose the most appropriate routes. NetBEUI has been adopted by IBM for its OS/2 and Microsoft for its Windows as a
standard protocol for file sharing and printing services.
NetWare
Novell's network management software that is able to run on a variety of operating systems.
Outline font
With outline fonts, character outlines are represented with numerical expressions and fonts can be enlarged or reduced in
different ways by changing the numeric values of those expressions. Printing remains clear even if you enlarge fonts, since
the characters are defined with outlines represented with numerical expressions. You can specify the font size in steps of
0.25 points up to 999.75 points.
POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3)
A standard protocol to receive E-mail from the server in which the mail is stored on the Internet or an intranet.
PostScript
A page description language developed by Adobe Systems. It enables flexible font functions and highly-functional graphics,
allowing higher quality printing. The first version called Level 1 was launched in 1985, followed by Level 2 that enabled color
