Printable area

The area of a sheet of paper on which a printer can reproduce text or graphics (the printing area is smaller than the paper). On this printer, the printing area varies depending on the type of paper being used.

Printer driver

Software that sends printing instructions to a printer. The printer driver keeps track of the attributes of a printer and the codes the program must send to access those attributes.

RAM

Random Access Memory. Printer memory that is used for temporary storage of information you want to print and downloaded fonts.

Resolution

The density of dots for any given output device. Expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution causes font characters and graphics to have a jagged appearance. Higher resolution means smoother curves and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs.

Resolution values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for example, 360 ⋅ 360 dpi. This printer can produce output with resolutions up to 720 ⋅ 360 dpi precision.

RGB

An acronym for Red, Green, and Blue; the three primary colors used in the additive process to form a wide spectrum of colors.

Smoothing mode

A printer mode that refines your printout by polishing away jagged edges and ragged stair-stepping curves of characters and graphics.

Subtractive colors

The three primary colors (cyan, yellow, and magenta); when combined through a subtractive process give a spectrum of colors.

True black

Contrary to composite black, true black color on a printout is obtained with the use of black ink.

TrueType font

The scalable font technology built into Microsoft Windows 3.1. It offers you the same font images both on computer displays and printer outputs.
