halftoning
A method of using dot patterns to represent an image. Halftoning makes it possible
to produce varying shades of gray using only black dots, or a nearly infinite array
of colors using only a few colors of dots.
high speed printing
Printing in which images are printed in both directions. This provides faster
printing. This is also called bidirectional printing.
ICM
Image Color Matching. This setting uses the Windows 95 color matching method to
automatically match the colors in your printout with the colors displayed on your
screen.
initialization
Returns the printer to its defaults (fixed set of conditions). This happens every time
you turn on the printer or reset the printer.
ink jet
A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by precisely
spraying ink onto paper.
interface
The connection between the computer and a peripheral such as a printer. Generally,
printers have two interfaces, parallel and serial. A parallel interface transmits data
one byte, or eight bits, at a time. A serial interface transmits data one bit at a time.
loading position
The position to which the paper is automatically loaded.
ips
Inches per second. This scale is used to measure the print head speed.
media
Materials upon which data is printed, such as envelopes, plain paper, special paper,
and transparency film.
MicroWeave
Printing in which images are printed in finer increments to reduce the possibility of
banding and to produce laser-like images. See also banding.
monochrome
Printing with only one color of ink, which is generally black ink.
parallel interface
See interface.
power-on functions
These are special functions, such as a printer operation check, that you can perform
by holding down a control panel button while turning on the printer.
