GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Self-test	A test that determines whether the printer is working correctly.
	Test pages are printed to show print quality and verify
	whether all characters print. The self-test only tests the printer.
	It does not test how thecomputer works with the printer.
Separator	A printer cover that has bail rollers and the guide that leads
	paper outside the printer.
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.

Soft fonts

Software

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 or optional cut sheet feeder. 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.
