Canon K10158 manual Resolution, Saturation, Software application, Spacing, Subscript

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. This printer can normally produce output with 360 dpi resolution. When you see a value given for resolution, the resolution for the horizontal direction is given first and the vertical direction second. For example, 720 x 360 dpi means 720 dots horizontally and 360 dots vertically. The maximum 720 x 360 dpi print resolution for this printer can be attained with a Black BJ Cartridge BC-10 while the smoothing function turned on.

RGB

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

ROM

Read Only Memory. You cannot modify this printer memory. When the printer is turned off, ROM memory remains intact. In this printer, the default settings and the resident fonts are stored in ROM.

saturation

The amount of hue of a colour. The further the particular hue moves away from the center of the colour wheel, the more saturated it is.

software application

Software prepared for a specific function or set of functions. Examples of applications are word processing, graphics preparation, and spread- sheets. Programmers who prepare application programs include printer drivers that support different types of printers.

spacing

All fonts are designed with either fixed or proportional spacing. Using fixed spacing, all character cells are the same width. Using proportional spacing, character cell width depends on the character size.

subscript

One or more characters printed one-half line below the normal printing line. See also Superscript.
