Glossary

A power saving mode in which the POWER SAVE
indicator lights up and all other indicators go out.
Note that the DATA and ON LINE indicator lights
are not affected.This mode saves the most power, but
takes longer to warm up compared to the preheat
mode.
See also preheat mode.

A binary digit, whose state is either yes or no, on or
off, 1 or 0. The smallest unit of information storage
in computers.

A way of representing graphic images using a pattern
of dots. The density of these dots is know as the
resolution, which is usually expressed in dots per
inch.See also resolution, dots-per-inch.

A unit of information storage consisting of eight bits,
enough (in most computer codes for Western
languages) to encode one letter, number or symbol.

Information needed for connection in a network. For
more information, see your network administrator.

A printer (specified in the operating system
software), which applications normally use for
printing.

A measure of the resolution of a printed image; the
number of dots printed in a linear inch.
See also resolution.

A type of memory module used for upgrading the
printer memory.

Contains a photoconductive drum upon which images
for copying or printing are formed.

A typeface; a collection of characters with a
consistent appearance and style, such as Times New
Roman. Traditionally in printing, a font was a
typeface in a specific size, such as Times New
Roman 12-point.

A bundle of wires in a sheath which transfers data
between a computer and a printer.

Information needed for connection in a network. For
more information, see your network administrator.

The orientation of a printed page held with the long
dimension horizontal: wider than it is tall. Printing
runs across the longer dimension.
See also portrait, orientation.

A printer that is directly connected to your computer,
as opposed to a remote or network printer.

A unit of information storage consisting of slightly
more than a million bytes.
See also bit.

The capacity of a device (computer, printer, etc.) to
store information, or the devices in which information
is stored, usually measured in bytes. While you are
working on a file with a computer, it is stored in
random-access memory (RAM) chips, but is lost when
you reset or turn off your computer. When you save a
file, it is stored on floppy or hard disks or other
storage devices.

A remote printer that is connected to your computer
through a network, as opposed to a local printer.

A condition in which the printer is not ready to accept
data from or communicate with the computer.
See also on-line.

A condition in which the printer is ready to accept
data from and communicate with the computer.
See also offline.

The way a page must be held in order to be legible. In
portrait orientation, printing runs across the page’s
width or shorter dimension. In landscape orientation,
printing runs across the page’s length or longer
dimension.
See also landscape, portrait.

A data cable which transfers multiple bits of
information simultaneously along each of its wires
from the computer to the printer. The parallel
interface cable should be shielded and less than 3
meters (10 feet) in length.
Note: Use a high-quality, shielded IEEE-1284
compliant parallel interface cable.
See also interface cable.

Glossary

The receptacle in which you plug the end of a parallel
interface cable in order to connect a computer and
printer or other device.

The program that enables a computer to send the
printer a print job in PCL (Printer Control Language).
See also printer driver.

A function of Windows that allows you to easily
install hardware devices (for example, printers, disk
drives, etc.)

A connection through which the computer sends
information to other devices. Parallel ports send data
eight bits at a time and are usually used for printers;
Windows and MS-DOS designate them “LPT1:”
through “LPT9:”.

The orientation of a printed page held with the long
dimension vertical: taller than it is wide. Printing runs
across the shorter dimension.
See also landscape, orientation.

A power saving mode in which the POWER SAVE
indicator lights up and all other indicators remain in
their prior state. In this condition, the fuser in the
machine is maintained at a low temperature to save
power. The machine warms up more quickly
compared to the auto power shut-off mode.
See also auto power shut-off mode.

A language used in many laser printers to describe
how text and graphics appear on the page.
See also PCL printer driver.

A program that controls how the computer and printer
interact. The printer driver supplies Windows with
information such as descriptions of fonts and features
of the installed printer. Drivers have the filename
extension .DRV.
See also PCL printer driver.

The working memory of the computer in which
programs and data are temporarily stored while you
use them. Resetting or shutting off the computer
clears all information from RAM. Printing very
complicated documents may require closing other
running programs or adding more RAM to the
computer.
See also memory.

The fineness of lines displayed on a monitor or
printed, measured in dots per inch (dpi). Low-
resolution devices may display or print visibly jagged
images, particularly diagonal lines.
See also dots per inch.

Enlargement or reduction of the original image when
it is printed.

Sending a document to the print queue rather than
directly to the printer. Documents in a print queue are
usually printed in the order received. Spooling frees
the application you are using for other tasks.

Information needed for connection in a network. For
more information, see your network administrator.

A page printed by your printer used to verify its
proper operation. It contains information about your
configuration.

The reservoir which holds the toner.
