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.

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 1440 ⋅ 720 dpi precision with the BC-22e Photo

BJ Cartridge on both plain paper and special media, or with the BC-21e Color BJ Cartridge on High Resolution or Glossy Photo Paper.

RGB

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