printer, computers communicate data even faster. The buffer can
accommodate 816 characters of memory, with an optional buffer
that can be expanded to 4K or 8K. Qu’est-ce que “K”?
Computer memory is measured in terms of K, meaning
ki/o&fes. A kilobyte is 1,024 bytes, and a byfe equals one letter
of the alphabet (or a symbol, or a number).
The print-out is accomplished by theprintermechanism, also
shown in Figure l-5 and represented in Figure 1-6. The printer
mechanism	can produce a variety of typographical	styles and	__
sizes (including superscripts and subscripts), variable line spacing,
adjustable tabs, and block graphics. Plus, the Gemini is
outstanding	for the full range of papers upon which	it can print.	-
