Owners manual

Fast Ethernet
An Ethernet network capable of transferring data at up to 100,000,000 bits/second. Fast Ethernet interfaces are capable
of negotiating slower speeds when required for compatibility with older Ethernet devices.
Firmware
Software that controls your printer's functionality and is stored semi-permanently in the printer (it can be updated).
Gamut
The range of colors and density values reproducible on an output device, such as a printer or monitor.
Gigabit Ethernet
An Ethernet network capable of transferring data at up to 1,000,000,000 bits/second. Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are
capable of negotiating slower speeds when required for compatibility with older Ethernet devices.
Hi-Speed USB
A version of USB, sometimes called USB 2.0, that can run 40 times faster than original USB, but is otherwise compatible
with original USB. Most personal computers today use Hi-Speed USB.
HP RTL
Hewlett-Packard Raster Transfer Language: a language defined by HP to describe raster (bitmap) graphics.
HP-GL/2
Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language 2: a language defined by HP to describe vector graphics.
I/O
Input/Output: this term describes the passing of data between one device and another.
ICC
The International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed on a common standard for color profiles.
Ink cartridge
A removable printer component that stores ink of a particular color and provides it to the printhead.
IP address
May mean an IPv4 address (most likely) or an IPv6 address.
IPSec
A sophisticated mechanism for providing network security by authenticating and encrypting IP packets sent between
nodes on a network. Each network node (computer or device) has an IPSec configuration. Applications are usually
unaware whether IPSec is being used or not.
IPv4 address
A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on an IPv4 network. An IPv4 address consists of four integers
separated by full stops. Most networks in the world use IPv4 addresses.
IPv6 address
A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on an IPv6 network. An IPv6 address consists of up to 8 groups of
hexadecimal digits separated by colons. Each groups contains up to 4 hexadecimal digits. Only a few new networks in
the world use IPv6 addresses.
LED
Light-Emitting Diode: a semiconductor device that emits light when electrically stimulated.
MAC address
Media Access Control address: a unique identifier used to identify a particular device on a network. It is a lower-level
identifier than the IP address. Thus, a device may have both a MAC address and an IP address.
