Printing with letter-quality fonts provides better readability and appearance at a
reduced print speed. See also draft and high speed draft.
line feed (LF)
A control code and control panel button that advances the paper one line space.
loading position
The position to which the paper is automatically loaded.
overlapping multipart forms
A kind of continuous paper that provides you with multipart forms. The page
length of the multipart forms is longer than that of the backing continuous paper.
So when extended, one page's multipart forms overlap the next page's multipart
forms. This overlapping area is thicker than the printable area.
overlapping multipart forms with labels
This kind of continuous paper is a combination of overlapping multipart forms
and continuous forms with labels. Be sure to follow any special instructions
intended for either type.
platen
The black roller that provides a backing for the paper during printing.
printable area
The area of a page on which the printer can print. It is smaller than the physical
size of the page due to margins.
printer driver
A software program that sends commands from the computer for using the
functions of a particular printer.
reset
To return a printer to its default settings.
resolution
A measure of the amount of detail that can be represented. Resolution of printed
images is measured in number of dots per inch (dpi).
self test
A method for checking the operation of the printer. When you run the self test,
the printer prints the characters stored in its ROM (Read Only Memory).
tear off
A control panel button that feeds the perforation of continuous paper to the
tear-off position and then feeds the paper back to the top-of-form position.
tear-off position
The position the printer feeds the paper to when you press the Tear Off button
or when auto tear-off mode is on. Using the Micro Adjust function, you can adjust
the position so that the paper's perforation meets the printer's tear-off edge.
