Bluetooth
|
An industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency. The Bluetooth specifications are developed and licensed by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

DNS
|
Domain Name Server or Domain Name System. A DNS is a record that is located at the registry that tells a browser where to route your mail or where a Web site can be found. Basically a system that converts IP addresses into names, i.e.123.456.789.0 to www.yourdomain.com. DNS entries translate the domain name (computer hostnames) to IP addresses.

Ethernet
|
A family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards of network access at the Media Access Control (MAC)/Data Link Layer, and a common addressing format.
|
|
EXIF
|
Exchangeable Image File Format. A standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF format.
|
|
Gateway Address
|
A node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. A node in this instance can be a computer or some other device.The address of the default gateway is assigned by the installation software, unless you have already set a manual IP address.

H
|
|
|
Hex
|
Hexadecimal. A numeric system that uses sixteen distinct characters that are a combination of the numbers 0 - 9 (represent values zero to nine) and letters A - F (represent values ten to fifteen). Hexadecimal is used as a human friendly representation of binary coded values.
|
|
Hostname
|
The TCP/IP name assigned to the device by the installation software.
|

I
|
|
|
Infrastructure
|
The Kodak All-in-One printer communicates with other network devices through a wireless access point, such as a wireless router or base station.
|
|
IP Address
|
Internet Protocol address. This address uniquely identifies the device on the network. IP addresses are assigned dynamically through DHCP or AutoIP. Static IP addresses can be set up. An invalid IP address during installation will prevent your network components from seeing the Kodak All-in-One printer.
|
|
J
|
|
|
JPEG
|
Joint Photographic Experts Group. The name of the committee that developed the image file format. JPEG is a compressed image file format. JPEG is a "lossy" format, which means some quality is lost when the image is compressed.

Kodak Perfect Touch
|
Automatically corrects for common image flaws and "mistakes," such as shadows, and backlighting. Kodak Perfect Touch technology also enhances the desirable qualities of pictures, for vibrant color and richer detail. This feature is available when scanning or copying pictures. Color restoration and Kodak Perfect Touch can be used together to enhance pictures. This feature is not available when scanning black and white pictures.

MAC
|
Media Access Control. The Media Access Control address identifies the Kodak All-in-One printer. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking hardware for identification, including routers, switches, and other such devices. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address. Some Internet service providers (ISPs) require that you register the MAC address of the Network Card or LAN Adapter that was connected to your cable or DSL modem during installation.

N
|
|
|
Network Configuration
|
The protocol used to assign the to the device. For this Kodak All-in-One printer, the network configuration is: AutoIP
: The installation software automatically determines the configuration parameters. DHCP
: The configuration parameters are supplied by a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server on the network. On small networks, this could be a router. Manual:
The configuration parameters are set manually, such as a static IP address. Not Specified: The mode used when the Kodak All-in-One printer is initializing.

PictBridge
|
A Camera and Imaging Products Association standardized technology that allows printing of images between any PictBridge compliant digital camera and any PictBridge compliant printer. Thus, you can print from a memory card in a digital camera directly to a printer, regardless of brand. No computer is necessary. Each device is automatically recognized by the other. The camera compares its PictBridge functions to the functions of the printer. The camera then displays the supported functions on menus on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder. Once a PictBridge digital camera is connected to a compliant printer, print options appear on the camera monitor (LCD). The camera menu system is used to select settings such as print size, layout, media type, and date. You can print a single image displayed on the camera, print two or more images, or print all of the images on the memory card. You can print part of an image by first cropping it within the camera and even create index prints (contact sheets). To find out if a camera or printer is PictBridge compatible, look for the PictBridge logo on the packaging or check the manual for specifications.

Picture Transfer Protocol. A standard for transferring pictures from a digital camera.

Red Eye
|
The red-eye effect in flash photography is caused by the light from the flash reflecting off the blood vessels and interior eye tissue in humans. Animal eye glow from reflections is caused by a different internal eye structure, which is much like a mirror. When not enough time elapses between the flash and exposure (as with most compact cameras), the light of the flash occurs too fast for the iris of the eye to close the pupil. The flash of light is focused by the lens of the eye onto the blood-rich retina at the back of the eye. The image of the illuminated retina is then focused by the lens of the eye back to the camera, resulting in a red appearance of the eye on the picture.

S
|
|
|
SSID
|
Service Set Identifier: A unique identifier (up to 32 characters) that differentiates one wireless local area network (WLAN) from another. The SSID is also known as the network name. The name of the network to which the Kodak All-in-One printer is connected is called its SSID.
|
|
Speed
|
The speed at which data is transmitted over a network. Speeds include 10TX-Full, 10TX-Half, 100TX-Full, and 100TX-Half.
|
|
Subnet Mask
|
A subnet is an assigned by the installation software to make an additional network available as part of a larger network. Subnets are specified by a subnet mask. This mask determines which of the Kodak All-in-One printer IP address bits identify the network and subnet, and which bits identify the device itself. Kodak recommends that the All-in-One printer and the computers that use it all reside on the same subnet.

USB
|
Universal Serial Bus. A connection protocol between a peripheral device and a computer, allowing electronic data/signals to be transmitted back and forth. It is used commonly to connect a portable storage device such, as a "thumb" or "flash" drive, to a PC or Macintosh desktop or laptop computer. The Kodak All-in-One printer has a USB port on the front panel for external USB devices to plug into, and another one on the back panel to connect the printer to a computer via a USB cable.

WEP
|
Wired Equivalent Privacy. A deprecated algorithm to secure wireless networks. Wireless networks broadcast messages using radio, so are more susceptible to eavesdropping than wired networks. WEP was intended to provide confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. The WEP standard only defines a 10 or 26 character "key" in hexadecimal (0-9+A-F). A WEP password is generated by the router manufacturer and as such, a password for a Linksys router will not be the same on a NetGear router.

Wi-Fi
|
Wireless Fidelity. A common "shorthand" name for wireless computer networking.
|
|
WPA
|
Wi-Fi Protected Access. A class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. WPA is designed to work with pre-WPA wireless network interface cards (through firmware upgrades), but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards.

WPA Key

A WPA key is an encryption key for wireless networking devices.
