Print queue
A list of files that are either waiting to be printed or are currently printing. Once a file has been printed, it is removed from the print
queue.
Printer driver
A program that controls how the computer and printer interact. The printer driver supplies Windows with information such as
descriptions of fonts and features of the installed printer. When you print with the Canon Advanced Raster Printing System, you are
using its printer driver.
Printers folder
The container in which your printer information is stored.
Properties dialog box
The dialog box that contains information about a particular device, such as your printer.
Proportional spacing
The spacing of characters according to the width of each character. This variable spacing between each character closes up
awkward space and makes text easier to read.
Q
Queue
A list of files that are either waiting to be printed or are currently printing. Once a file has been printed, it is removed from the print
queue.
R
Random Access Memory (RAM)
The working memory of the computer in which programs and data are temporarily stored while you use them. Resetting or shutting
off the computer clears all information from RAM. Printing very complicated documents might require closing other running programs
or adding more RAM to the computer. See also Physical RAM, Virtual memory.
Resolution
The density of dots for any given output device, expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution causes font characters and
graphics to have a jagged appearance, but prints faster than higher resolutions. Higher resolution provides smoother curves and
angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs, but prints more slowly. This printer can produce output with 300 or
600 dpi resolution. Resolution values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for example, 1200 dpi enhanced x 600
dpi.
Reverse Output Order
This function allows you to print pages of the document in reverse order: from the last page to the first page.
