Halftone
Using this method, the MultiPASS produces shades of gray or of colors by mapping
dots to be printed. For color printing, different colored dots of ink are placed closely
together to create illusions of other colors.
■ I
IEEE 1284
IEEE 1284 is the new specification standard for computer-to-peripheral bi-directional
parallel interface communications. The new standard was adopted by IEEE, Institute of
Electrical and Electronic Engineers, Inc., in 1993. Some of the benefits it provides are:
bi-directional communication between PCs and peripheral devices, a higher speed data
transfer rate, and protection against data loss due to noise interference.
Ink Jet printer
A nonimpact printer that ejects ink onto paper to form characters. The MultiPASS has a
special type of ink jet printer built in called a Bubble Jet printer.
Intensity
The amount of color. More intense or more saturated colors are more pure. Less
intense or less saturated colors are less vivid.
Interface port
The MultiPASS comes with one IEEE 1284, bi-directional parallel interface port, located
at the back of the unit. You attach the parallel cable that connects your PC and the
MultiPASS to this port.
ITU-T No. 1 Chart
A test chart, defined by ITU-TS, used to measure the transmission speed as well as the
transmitting and receiving memory capacity of a fax machine.
ITU-TS
International Telecommunications Union-Telecommunications Sector . A committee
created to set international standards for telecommunications.
■ J
Jack
The telephone receptacles on your wall and MultiPASS used to connect the telephone
line, a telephone, and an extension phone, answering machine, or data modem.
■ L
Landscape orientation
Refers to printing across the length of the page (as opposed to portrait orientation,
which is printing across the width of the page).
