Kanji<A Japanese character set.
LED<Light=Emitting Diode
legs and bin<Plotter stand and media bin
line sensor<Carriage LED
LSB<Least Significant Bit
media axis<X=axis (paper axis)
media)length calibration<Media=sensor calibration
media)sensor calibration<Media=length calibration
MSB(Most Significant Bit
NVRAM<Nonvolatile Random=Access Memory
PAL<Programmable Array Logic
palette< A set of pens for which width and
%shading are defined using the setup sheet or the graphics software.
paper axis(Media axis (X=axis)
parity<An error=checking method for information transfer between a computer and a peripheral device. Parity is used to check the accuracy of binary data.
PC<Personal Computer
PCA<Printed Circuit Assembly
pen<1. Even though the inkjet plotter has no physical pens, the lines it draws match the attributes for pens numbered 1 through 8 in the application software. (See also •palette.")
2.Sometimes used instead of •print cartridge"
pinch)arm sensor<pinch=wheel sensor
PJL(Printer Job Language, developed by Hewlett=Packard to give software applications more job=level device control and to provide device status information to the application.
platen roller(Drive roller
P/N<Part Number
PNP<Positive Negative Positive
PWM<Pulse=Width Modulation
RAM<Random=Access Memory
raster<1. A matrix of dots, or pixels, where each pixel is defined by a bit. A bit that is •on" will print a dot on the paper. A bit that is •off" will leave the area blank. 2. A method for defining a plot directly in terms of the pixels rather than as vectors.
resolution<A measure of image sharpness expressed as a number of lines per unit length. When referring to plotters, addressable resolution means the smallest move the plotter can make programmatically.
rms<Root mean square
ROM<Read=Only Memory
