Using LCDS Print Description Language
read-only memory. Solid-state memory for programs. It cannot
be rewritten.
raster output scanner
stand-alone field engineering software
To adjust font or image size according to given proportions.
small computer system interface. Accepted standard for
connecting peripheral devices to computers.
synchronous data link control
short-edge feed. The movement of paper through the printer in
the direction of the paper width (the shorter side of a sheet of
paper). For the DocuPrint 180/DocuPrint 180MX LPS, short-
edge feed allows larger sizes of paper (up to 11 by 17 inches/
279 by 432 mm) to be printed.
In numeric sequence, usually in ascending order. As applied to a
file organization, describes files in which records are written one
after another and cannot be randomly accessed. For example,
the first 99 records in a sequential file-access file have to be read
before the 100th record is accessible.
In setting a separation boundary through the Bin Full Criteria
task, set refers to multiple copies of the same report.
Printing on one side of the page. See also duplex printing.
system network architecture
To rearrange data records according to a particular item (field)
which they all contain, using a predetermined ordering scheme.
Terminal node at which data enters a network. For example, a
computer transmitting data through telecommunication lines to
several other computers or receiving terminals.
Language, high-level or low-level, used by a programmer. A
source language must be converted by a compiler to machine
language for the instructions to be executed.
spots per inch
Process of releasing data from main memory and storing it
temporarily until a peripheral device is ready to accept it, for
example storing text before sending it to a printer.
Unit of measurement representing a fraction of an inch, for
example, 300 spots per inch (spi). May also be referred to as a
picture element (pixel) or dot.
Information usually found on preprinted forms or overlays.
