#G Glossary
A standard computer interface. Information is transferred
between devices over separate wires, allowing all of the bits
that make up the character to be transmitted simultaneously
(in parallel).
The position in which continuous forms paper is retracted or
"parked" on the rear forms tractors. When continuous forms
paper is loaded, it moves forward from the park position to the
platen.
Memory that retains information even when power is turned
off. The printer's permanent memory retains the default
settings specified using the printer setup mode.
Characters per horizontal inch (cpi).
A hard rubber cylinder that moves paper forward during
printing.
Character spacing in which wide characters occupy more
space than do narrow characters. For example, characters such
as "W" or "M"occupy more horizontal space than do
characters such as "i" or "l." Many soft fonts are
proportionally spaced. Sometimes designated PS, proportional
spacing is the opposite of monospacing.
A set of instructions that control how data is transmitted
between devices such as a computer and printer.
In rear feed, paper is fed from the rear of the printer. The
forms tractor unit must be installed at the rear of the printer.
The forms tractor unit pushes paper into the printer.
Fonts present (resident) in the printer's permanent memory.
For this printer, the resident fonts are Courier 10, Prestige Elite
12, Pica 10, OCR-B 10, OSR-A 10, Boldface PS, Compressed
font, Correspondence, Draft, and High-speed Draft. Unlike
soft fonts, resident fonts can always be accessed.
