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. Higher resolution means smoother curves
and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs. This
printer can normally produce output with 360 dpi resolution. When you
see a value given for resolution, the resolution for the horizontal
direction is given first and the vertical direction second. For example,
720 x 360 dpi means 720 dots horizontally and 360 dots vertically. The
maximum 720 x 360 dpi print resolution for this printer can be attained
with a Black BJ Cartridge BC-10 while the smoothing function turned
on.
RGB
An acronym for Red, Green, and Blue, the three primary colours used in
the additive process to form a wide spectrum of colours.
ROM
Read Only Memory. You cannot modify this printer memory. When the
printer is turned off, ROM memory remains intact. In this printer, the
default settings and the resident fonts are stored in ROM.
saturation
The amount of hue of a colour. The further the particular hue moves
away from the center of the colour wheel, the more saturated it is.
software application
Software prepared for a specific function or set of functions. Examples
of applications are word processing, graphics preparation, and spread-
sheets. Programmers who prepare application programs include printer
drivers that support different types of printers.
spacing
All fonts are designed with either fixed or proportional spacing. Using
fixed spacing, all character cells are the same width. Using proportional
spacing, character cell width depends on the character size.
subscript
One or more characters printed one-half line below the normal printing
line. See also Superscript.
