DC (Direct Current)	Electronic flow that is unidirectional, flowing from the positive (+)
	to negative (-) of a power source.
Default	A setting or parameter that comes preset from the factory in
	Driver or Firmware. Performance parameters can be customized
	in the Driver, but can be reset to the factory values usually
	through the push of the default button. The default values for the
	Firmware are usually denoted on a label attached to the Printer.
Defrag	Abbreviation for defragmenting. The process of reformatting data
	on a hard drive so that it uses space more efficiently.
Dither	A system of distributing dots to control the hue, brightness and/or
	saturation. In monochrome printing, this controls the brightness.
	In color printing, dithering can supply a larger color gamut than
	non-dithering. In the Driver, dither modes can be selected to
	provide better image quality depending on the type of image to be
	printed.
Dongle	A peripheral that attaches to a port to act as a key for an installed
	application. The PC is able to run that application only when the
	dongle is installed. Typically, it works as a pass-through device
	and is connected in serial to the parallel cable.
Dot	The smallest unit of an image that the Printer is able to produce.
	The smaller the dot, see dot pitch, the sharper the image.
