GLOSSARY OF TERMS
A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between
devices over a single wire (although other wires are used for control).
A serial interface can use an interface cable greater than 3 meters (10
feet). A long cable is often necessary in networking environments,
where the printer may be shared.
One of the printer’s two operating modes. In setup mode, the
controlpanel can be used to select the printer default settings, such
as print features, hardware options, and top-of-form. Setup mode also
provides some diagnostic functions. See also Normal mode.
Shadow printing prints characters twice for emphasis. Characters
printed the second time are shifted slightly to the right.
Single sheets are sheets of paper, envelopes, and noncontinuous
multipart forms fed into the printer using the cut sheet stand. Single
sheets are also called cut sheets.
Fonts downloaded from a disk to the printer memory. Soft fonts are
also referred to as downloaded fonts. Unlike resident fonts, soft
fonts are available only when in the printer memory.
Programs that control the computer and printer to perform specified
tasks, such as word processing, database management, and
preparation of spreadsheets. Software is sometimes referred to as
application software.
The total space at the top of the printed page. The top margin is the
sum of the top-of-form setting, the software-specified top margin, and
the printer’s TOP-MRG setting.
The logical top of the physical page, as “understood” by the printer
when loading paper. The default TOF settings are 1 inch (25.4 mm) for
both cut sheets and continuous forms.
