A sequence of shades of gray from black to white. Grayscale is used to represent
colors when printing with black ink only.
halftones
Patterns of black or colored dots used to reproduce an image.
halftoning
A method of using dot patterns to represent an image. Halftoning makes it
possible to produce varying shades of gray using only black dots, or a nearly
infinite array of colors using only a few colors of dots. See also halftones.
high speed printing
Printing in which images are printed in both directions. This results in faster
printing.
initialization
Returns the printer to its defaults (fixed set of conditions). This happens every
time you turn on the printer or reset the printer.
ink cartridge
Contains the ink that your printer uses when printing.
ink jet
A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by precisely
spraying ink onto the paper.
interface

transmits data one character or code at a time. A serial interface transmits data
one bit at a time.
interface cable
The cable that connects the computer and the printer.
local printer
The printer that is directly connected to the computer's port by an interface cable.
media
Materials upon which data is printed, such as envelopes, plain paper, special
paper, and transparency film.
memory
The part of the printer's electronic system that is used to store information (data).
Some of the information is fixed and is used to control how the printer operates.
Information that is sent to the printer from the computer is temporarily stored in
memory. See also RAM and ROM.
MicroWeave
Printing in which images are printed in finer increments to reduce the possibility
of banding and to produce laser-like images. See also banding.
