Term Definition
MDN Abbreviation for Message Disposition Notifications. A delivery confirmation message
that is sent back to the sender in response to such as request.
Memory Storage device for storing data temporally. When the power is turned off the data
may or may not be erased.
Memory overflow A condition where the fax memory becomes full while scanned documents or temporarily
stored documents are saved.
Memory transmission This is a procedure for starting a fax transmission after a document is scanned and
stored in the memory. If memory transmission is used, the total number of pages are
automatically printed in the page number of the transmission source information and
an image of the first page of the sent document is printed in the transmission report.
However, the memory may become full if there are many pages of the document or
if the data is large due to finely detailed images.
MH Abbreviation for Modified Huffman. A data compression encoding method for fax
transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/10
their original size.
MIB Abbreviation for Management Information Base. In a TCP/IP transmission, this uses
SNMP to define the management information format for a group of network devices.
There are two formats: the manufacturer-specific private MIB and the standardized
MIB.
MMR Abbreviation for Modified Modified Read. A data compression en-coding method for
fax transmissions. Documents containing mostly text are compressed to about 1/20
their original size.
Multi Page TIFF A TIFF file that has multiple pages.
NDPS Abbreviation for Novell Distributed Print Services. Provides a highly efficient printing
solution in an NDS environment. By using the NDPS as a printer server, you can output
from the desired printer, automatically download the printer driver of a newly installed
printer, simplify and automate complicated management environments
related to printer use, and integrate management related to the network printer.
NDS Abbreviation for Novell Directory Services. The servers and printers on a network
and the shared resources of the user’s information, as well as the user’s access authority
over these items can be consolidated in the hierarchy structure.
NetBEUI Abbreviation for NetBIOS Extended User Interface. A network protocol developed by
IBM. By simply specifying the computer name, you can build a small-scale network.
NetBIOS Abbreviation for Network Basic Input Output System. A communication interface developed
by IBM.
NetWare Network operating system developed by Novell. NetWare IPX/SPX is used as the
communication protocol.
No. of documents Used for quick memory transmission to send the fax with the total number of pages.
This allows the recipient to check whether the all pages were received or not (In case
of memory transmission, the total no. of pages are automatically added).
Nprinter/Rprinter Remote printer support module for using a printer server under a NetWare environment.
Use NetWare 3.x with Rprinter, and NetWare 4.x with Nprinter.
NTLM Abbreviation for NT LAN Manager. User authentication method used by Windows NT
or later. With the MD4 and MD5 encoding methods, passwords are encoded.
NTP Abbreviation for Network Time Protocol. The protocol for correctly adjusting the
computer’s internal clock over the network. In a hierarchical method, the time is adjusted
with the server at the highest level using GPS to acquire the correct time,
which is then referenced by each lower level host.
OCR Abbreviation for Optical Character Reader. A device or software that converts handwritten
or printed documents to text data by optically scanning it and, through comparison
with a previously stored pattern, specifies the characters.
OHP/OHT OHP (overhead projector) transparencies which are used for presentations.
OS Abbreviation for Operating System. Basic software for controlling the system of a
computer.
Outline font A font using lines and curves to display an outline of a character. Large-size characters
can be displayed on a screen or printed with no jagged edges.
Overseas communication This is a function to communicate with an overseas recipient. If an overseas communication
mode is set, the fax is sent with a lower speed. Specifying an overseas
transmission mode ensures the fax transmission when faxing to the location where
transmission conditions are poor, even within the country.
Password transmission A function for sending a fax with a password. If the recipient’s fax machine is set for
closed network receptions, the sender’s fax machine should transmit a fax with the
password same as the closed network reception password.
