APTC	See Automatic paper thickness control.
ASCII	The acronym for American Standard Code for Information
	Interchange. ASCII is a set of 256 codes (numbered 0 to 255)
	used to communicate information between a computer and
	another device such as a printer.
Automatic paper	A feature that automatically adjusts the gap between the print
thickness control (APTC)	head and the platen for the thickness of the paper.
Baud rate	The speed, in bits per second, at which data is transmitted to a
	device such as a printer. Baud rates apply to serial data only.
	1200 baud equals approximately 120 characters per second.
Bidirectional printing	Alternate printing of lines from left to right and right to left.
	Bidirectional printing is faster than unidirectional printing
	because there are no carriage returns.
Bit	The smallest unit of information in computer memory. A bit is
	a single digit, either a 1 or a 0, in the binary numbering system.
	Eight bits equal one byte.
Buffer	A storage area for data in the printer or computer. The printer’s
	buffer consists of a print buffer and a download buffer. The
	print buffer holds data to be printed. The download buffer
	holds downloaded data such as download (soft) fonts.
