quality provides better readability and appearance at a reduced

paper-park position
The position in which the paper is backed out of the paper path, but
is still attached to the push tractor.
parallel interface
See interface.
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.
proportional printing
Printing in which the width of the character varies from character to
character. For example, a capital W receives much more space than a
lowercase i. The result looks more like a typeset book than a
typewritten draft.
push tractor
An detachable device that automatically pushes continuous paper
into the printer from the loading side.
