Glossary
Printer software
A set of instructions in application software that translates
formatting choices into printer commands. When installing the
application, the user identifies the type of printer being used so that
the application knows which printer software to use.
Print job
A document that a application has processed and sent either
directly to the printer or to the print queue.
RAM
Random Access Memory. The portion of the printer's memory
used as a buffer and for storing user-defined characters. All data
stored in RAM is lost when the printer is turned off.
Reset
Clears the print buffer and places the printer on-line. Unlike
initialization, reset leaves the currently selected settings in effect.
Reset does not restore the power-on defaults. See also
Initialization.
Resolution
Refers to printing clarity. Resolution depends on the number of
dots per inch. High resolution (more dots) is finer and more precise
than low resolution, which is coarser with rougher edges.
ROM
Read Only Memory. A portion of memory that can only be read
and cannot be used for data storage. ROM retains its contents when
you turn off the printer.
Saturation
The level of color vividness.
Scalable fonts
A font capable of being printed in any point size.
