DNS Domain Name Service. Reflects the server names and addresses within a network. Flash Memory The print server software is stored in Flash Memory. This memory is provided by a silicon chip that like any other ROM device, retains data content even after power is removed. However, Flash Memory is unique because it allows its data to be erased and re-written. This means that you can install software updates for your server as soon as they become available, without having to replace any parts.
