SCSI

RISC

An acronym for Reduced Instruction Set Computing, a microprocessor design that focuses on rapid and efficient processing of a relatively small set of instructions.

RJ45 Connector

A type of network connector used with twisted-pair Ethernet cable. See also twisted-pair Ethernet cable.

ROM

An acronym for Read Only Memory. This type of memory contains data and/or printer-executable instructions that can be read but not modified. On QMS Crown printers, the operating system code, resident fonts, and resident emulations are all stored in ROM. This information is not lost when the printer’s power is turned off.

RTS

An acronym for Request To Send. RTS is a signal sent from the host to the printer indicating it is ready to send data.

Scalable Font

A scalable font is one in which each character’s dot pattern (bitmap) is generated from a mathematical representation (or outline) of the character. Scalable fonts eliminate the need to store many different font sizes.

Screen

The pattern in which dots or lines are placed on a page to create colors or levels of gray. See also screen angle.

Screen Angle

The angle at which a screen is printed. See also screen.

Screen Font

A font designed for display on a computer monitor. Screen fonts usually have corresponding printer fonts.

SCSI

An acronym for Small Computer System Interface, which allows up to three external hard disks to be connected to your printer. See also IDE.
