Glossary
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standardized coding
system for assigning numerical codes to letters and symbols.
auto line feed
When this feature is selected in the default-setting mode, each carriage-return
(CR) code is automatically followed by a line-feed (LF) code.
bidirectional printing
Printing in which the print head prints in both directions (bidirectionally). This
increases the print speed but may reduce precise vertical alignment. Bidirectional
printing is this printer's standard printing mode. See also unidirectional printing.
buffer
The portion of the printer's memory used to store data before it is printed.
character table
A collection of letters, numbers, and symbols that constitute the set of characters
used in a particular language.
characters per inch (cpi)
A measurement of the size of text characters.
continuous paper
Paper that has sprocket-feed holes on both sides, is perforated between pages,
and is supplied in a folded stack. Also called fanfold paper.
continuous forms with labels
A kind of continuous paper that has one label on each page. This is different from
label paper, which consists entirely of labels. When printing on continuous forms
with labels, the printer must adjust the height of the print heads for the extra
thickness of the labels. Before printing on this kind of paper, set the
paper-thickness lever to AUTO.
control code
A special code used to control a printer function such as performing a carriage
return or line feed.
cpi
See characters per inch (cpi).
cut-sheet feeder

into the printer.
