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

RAM

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

Resolution

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