characteristics), performs the processing functions (logical processing), and describes the output (type, format, font selection, accounting options) of a print job.
Printer Controller Component of the DocuPrint NPS/IPS that manages the spooling and processing of print jobs.
print quality The process by which the NPS/IPS maintains the electrostatic adjustment (PQA) state of the xerographic subsystem to ensure optimal print
quality.
print queue Temporarily stores print jobs that have been sent over the network but that have not yet been forwarded to the printer.

rasterization The creation of a bitmap image of a page for printing.
resolution The number of picture elements (pixels or dots) per square area unit. An imaging system converts a character from digitized data into a printed image composed of these tiny dots. The greater the number of dots per inch (i.e., higher the resolution), the clearer the image produced.
RGB A printing industry standard color definition model in which all colors are defined in terms of values for the three additive primary colors: red, green, and blue. Refer to color definition model.
