hex dump
A troubleshooting feature that helps identify the cause of communication
problems between the printer and the computer. When the printer is in hex dump
mode, it prints each code that it receives in hexadecimal notation as well as in
ASCII codes that stand for characters. Also called data dump.
high-speed draft
A draft printing mode you can select using the printer's default-setting mode or
the EPSON Remote! utility. High-speed draft uses a minimum number of dots
per character to produce extremely high-speed printing. See also draft and letter
quality.
interface
The connection (via a cable) between the computer and the printer over which
print data is transmitted to the printer.
initialization
Return the printer to its defaults (a fixed set of conditions).
landscape
Printing that is oriented sideways on the page. This orientation gives you a page
that is wider than it is high and is useful for printing spreadsheets. See also
portrait.
letter quality
The print mode used by your printer when you select a font other than Draft
(such as Roman or Sans Serif). Letter quality provides better readability and
appearance at a reduced print speed. See also draft and high-speed draft.
line feed (LF)
A control panel button and control code that advance the paper one line space.
micro adjust
A printer feature that allows you to precisely adjust the tear-off and top-of-form
positions.
paper positions
There are three paper positions for continuous paper printing: standby, tear-off,
and top-of-form. For single sheet printing, there is only the top-of-form position.
See also standby position, tear-off position, and top-of-form position. For detailed
information on these positions, see "Paper positions" on page 5 of the Glossary.
platen
The black roller that provides a backing for the paper during printing.
portrait
Printing that is oriented upright on the page (as opposed to landscape, in which
printing is sideways on the page). This is the standard orientation for printing
letters or documents. See also landscape.
printable area
The area of a page on which the printer can print. It is smaller than the physical
size of the page because of margins.
