operating memory

Contains the current print settings loaded from NVRAM, and any modifications. Operating memory is RAM, and is cleared when the printer is powered off. Operating memory is sometimes known as ``working memory.''

parallel interface

A data communications interface that transmits multiple bits of data (usually in 1-byte segments) simultaneously. The DEClaser 2100 printer uses a Centronics parallel interface.
