Fujitsu DL3750+/3850+ manual Serial interface, Setup mode

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Serial interface	A standard computer interface. Information is transferred between
	devices over a single wire (although other wires are used for control).
	A serial interface can use an interface cable greater than 3 meters (10
	feet). A long cable is often necessary in networking environments,
	where the printer may be shared.
Setup mode	One of the printer’s two operating modes. In setup mode, the
	controlpanel can be used to select the printer default settings, such
	as print features, hardware options, and top-of-form. Setup mode also
	provides some diagnostic functions. See also Normal mode.

Top-of-form (TOF)

Shadow printing prints characters twice for emphasis. Characters printed the second time are shifted slightly to the right.

Single sheets are sheets of paper, envelopes, and noncontinuous multipart forms fed into the printer using the cut sheet stand. Single sheets are also called cut sheets.

Fonts downloaded from a disk to the printer memory. Soft fonts are also referred to as downloaded fonts. Unlike resident fonts, soft fonts are available only when in the printer memory.

Programs that control the computer and printer to perform specified tasks, such as word processing, database management, and preparation of spreadsheets. Software is sometimes referred to as application software.

The total space at the top of the printed page. The top margin is the sum of the top-of-form setting, the software-specified top margin, and the printer’s TOP-MRG setting.

The logical top of the physical page, as “understood” by the printer when loading paper. The default TOF settings are 1 inch (25.4 mm) for both cut sheets and continuous forms.
