Glossary

Auto-Continue

Auto-Continue mode can be configured using the printer’s control panel (refer to the printer User’s Manual).

Aspect Ratio

The ratio of the width to height of an image.

Baud Rate

Baud rate is the rate at which information is transferred between the computer and the printer. To communicate properly, the computer and printer must both be configured to the same baud rate.

Bound and Unbound Fonts

A bound font is a font which contains a pre-specified set of symbols, such as Roman-8, PC-8, etc. An unbound font (or more accurately, unbound typeface) has the capacity to be bound to a set of symbols selected from a complementary Symbol Index (such as HP’s Master Symbol List - MSL, or the Unicode symbol list). See Chapter 10, “User-Defined Symbol Set” for more information.

CAP (Current Active Position)

The PCL cursor position refers to the Current Active Position (CAP), like the blinking underline character (cursor) used on most computers. This “cursor” identifies the current position on the page; the pointer, where a printing command begins laying out page data. The cursor can be moved anywhere within the logical page using a combination of horizontal and vertical cursor positioning commands and control codes (see Chapter 6, Cursor Positioning).
