Printer driver
A set of instructions in application software that translates formatting
choices into printer commands. When installing the application, the
user identifies the type of printer being used so the application knows
which printer driver to use.
Print unit
A maintenance package consisting of the photoconductive drum,
developing unit, toner, and drum cleaner.
Reset
Clears the print buffer and places the printer online. Unlike
initialization, reset leaves the currently selected settings in effect.
That is, reset does not restore the power-on defaults. See also
Initialization.
Resolution
The fineness of the printing. Resolution depends on the number of
dots per inch. High resolution (with more dots) is finer and more
precise than low resolution, which is coarser with rougher edges.
Scalable font
A font capable of printing in any point size. Scalable fonts are stored
on the computer's hard disk. Each font consists of character
templates that are used by the accompanying font utility software to
create the characters in the desired point size.
Some font utilities create a complete set of characters in the desired
size and send the complete set to the printer. Other utilities create
and send only the individual characters as they are needed, which
conserves printer memory.
