roller.
fuser jam-release lever. A lever to the right of the
paper guide inside the printer that is used to pump
fuser oil from the oil bottle and to free jammed
paper in the fuser area.
fuser nip width check. A procedure done by the
customer engineer (CE) to get a specific
measurement that shows if the right fuser roller
pressure is supplied during the fusing process.
fuser oil. Oil that helps the release of paper from
fuser rollers.
fuser oil bottle. A bottle inside the front door of
the printer that holds the fuser oil. See also fuser oil.
fuser rollers. The hardware devices used to
transfer the heat and pressure needed for the toned
image on the paper during the fusing process.
fuser slide plate. A metal plate in the printer onto
which you slide a fuser when installing it in the
printer.
G
gateway address. The computer location of a
device that connects two dissimilar local area
networks (LANs) or that connects a LAN to a wide
area network (WAN), minicomputer, or mainframe.
gradient. A test print that shows an image with
multiple stripes that begin in full color on one end
and gradually reduce the color content to nearly
zero so that only the white paper is visible on the
other end.
graphical user interface (GUI). A design for the
part of a software program that interacts with the
user and takes advantage of the bitmapped
graphics displays of PCs. A GUI uses pull-down
menus, dialog boxes, icons, and a variety of visually
attractive on-screen typefaces. See also icon .
graphics device interface (GDI). The graphics
and display technology used on computers running
the Windows operating system. GDI is the
equivalent of the PostScript language that sends
words and pictures to the printer.
grayscale. A series of shades from white to black.
H
halftone. A printing method that simulates
continuous-tone shading using dots of varying sizes
laid out on a regular grid. Larger dots simulate
darker tones and vice versa.
help map.
A document you can print to guide you
to the printer's operator panel, push buttons, and
panel lights. The help map lists the menus and tells
you how to access each menu.
Hold queue. A job storage area for the printer.
When you submit a job to the Hold queue, the
printer gets the job immediately and stores it on the
hard disk. Jobs in the Hold queue do not print or
clear from the printer until someone uses the IBM
Color Spooler to move them to the Print queue or to
discard them from the printer's hard disk. See also
Direct queue, Print queue, Printed queue, spooling.
I
IBM Color Calibrator. A software utility program
that enables you to keep the printer's colors at a
consistent performance level across time.
IBM Color Downloader. A software utility
program that enables you to print PostScript and
encapsulated PostScript files directly to the printer
without using the application in which the files were
created. Printing with the Downloader is faster than
printing from applications and also enables you to
manage the printer fonts installed on the printer.
IBM Color Spooler. A software utility program
that enables you to view the order and priority of
print jobs, customize printer settings for jobs, delete
jobs, and move jobs between queues. You can also
use the Calibrator to see a list of the jobs the printer
has finished.
icon. In a graphical user interface (GUI), an on-
screen symbol that represents a function or
resource of the software program or computer
hardware. See also graphical user interface (GUI) .
ISO sizes. A set of paper sizes used in data
processing and chosen from paper sizes that are
standardized by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO).
