ASCII is a set of 256 codes (numbered 0 to 255) used to communicate information between a computer and another device such as a printer A feature that automatically adjusts the gap between the print head and the platen for the thickness of the paper The speed, in bits per second, at which data is transmitted to a device such as a printer. Baud rates apply to serial data only 1200 baud equals approximately 120 characters per second Alternate printing of lines from left to right and right to left Bidirectional printing is faster than unidirectional printing because there are no carriage returns The smallest unit of information in computer memory. A bit is a single digit, either a 1 or a 0, in the binary numbering system Eight bits equal one byte A storage area for data in the printer or computer. The printer’s buffer consists of a print buffer and a download buffer. The print buffer holds data to be printed. The download buffer holds downloaded data such as download (soft) fonts A byte consists of eight bits that constitute one symbol. A byte represents a single character, such as number, letter, or special control character 235 The return of the print head carriage to the beginning of thenext line A type of parallel interface. See Parallel interface A vertical section on a printed page. This printer can print column pages at 10-pitch(10 characters per inch) A set of print and format commands used to control the printer. Each printer has its own resident command sets embedded in the printer firmware. These command sets are actuated by codes sent from the host computer Print that uses “condensed” characters. Condensed characters are narrower than regular characters. Using condensed print increases the number of characters per line Characters per second See Single sheets 236 Dots per inch237 Kilobyte. 1K byte equals 1024 bytesThe vertical spacing between lines, measured in lines per inch Lines per inch.
