to the Spooler to be added to the print queue or directly to the

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.
Reinstall
To remove installed software and install again.
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. Resolution
values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for
example, 600 x 600 dpi.
S
Scalable fonts
Scalable fonts allow characters to be printed in various sizes and
rotation angles. This is different from bitmap fonts, which are
printed in fixed sizes and angles.
Scaling
Enlarging or reducing the printed image.
