tractor. The mechanism that controls movement of continuous forms by way of holes.
tractor holes. The holes in the side margins on continuous forms. When placed on the tractor pins, the holes maintain printer alignment and registration, and control the movement of the paper.

V
variable data. The data that can vary; for example, the names and addresses in form letters.
vector graphics. Computer graphics in which display images are generated from display commands and coordinate data. Contrast with raster pattern.
