ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standardized
coding system for assigning numerical codes to letters and symbols.
auto line feed
When this feature is selected in the default-setting mode or the EPSON
Remote! utility, each carriage-return (CR) code is automatically followed
by a line-feed (LF) code.
bidirectional printing
Printing in which the print head prints in both directions (bidirectionally).
This increases the print speed but may reduce precise vertical alignment.
Bidirectional printing is this printer's standard printing mode. See also
unidirectional printing.
buffer
The portion of the printer's memory used to store data before it is printed.
character table
A collection of letters, numbers, and symbols that constitute the set of
characters used in a particular language.
characters per inch (cpi)
A measurement of the size of text characters.
continuous paper
Paper that has sprocket-feed holes on both sides, is perforated between
pages, and is supplied in a folded stack. Also called fanfold paper.
continuous forms with labels
A kind of continuous paper that has one label on each page. This is
different from label paper, which consists entirely of labels. When
printing on continuous forms with labels, the printer must adjust the
height of the print heads for the extra thickness of the labels. Before
printing on this kind of paper, measure the label thickness using the
EPSON Label Form Utility.
control code
A special code used to control a printer function such as performing a
carriage return or line feed.
cpi
See characters per inch.
