resolution.
TWAIN (Technology Without Any Interested Name)
Industry-standard protocol for transferring information from devices such as scanners
and digital cameras to a computer.
Industry-standard protocol for an application programming interface (API) for input
devices such as scanners. If both the device and the application comply with the
standard, they will be compatible regardless of differences in manufacturer or model.
For example, with TWAIN-compatible image-processing software, you can start the
scanner's TWAIN driver from the software's menu, scan the document and return the
scanned image to its original image-processing software.

These are new serial interface standards. This bus automatically recognizes
connections (Plug and Play) to allow plugging and unplugging connectors with the
power still turned on to the PC or peripheral equipment.
V
Virtual Memory
Space on the hard disk that Windows uses for temporary data storage as if it were
actually random access memory (RAM). Windows does this by means of a swap file.
This provides Windows with more usable memory, but reduces speed of access to it
when the swap file must be used. See also Physical RAM.
W
Weight
Refers to the thickness of a font: light, medium, or bold. Also refers to the thickness of
paper.
