platen

The black roller that provides a backing for the printing.

print quality

Your printer has two types of print quality: draft and Letter Quality. Draft is for high-speed, draft quality jobs; Letter Quality is for final, polished documents.

proportional printing

Printing in which the width of the character varies from character to character. For example, a capital W receives much more space than a lower case i. The result looks more like a typeset book than a typewritten draft.

RAM

Random Access Memory. The portion of the printer’s memory used as a buffer and for storing user-defined characters. All data stored in RAM is lost when the printer is turned off.

self test

A method of checking the operation of the printer. When the self test is run, the printer prints out its current DIP switch settings and the characters that are stored in its ROM.
