fuser cleaning belt. Part of the mechanism on the fuser cleaning unit that cleans the fuser upper roller.
fuser
fuser nip width check. A procedure done by the customer engineer (CE) to get a specific measurement that shows if the right fuser roller pressure is supplied during the fusing process.
fuser oil. Oil that helps the release of paper from fuser rollers.
fuser oil bottle. A bottle inside the front door of the printer that holds the fuser oil. See also fuser oil.
fuser rollers. The hardware devices used to transfer the heat and pressure needed for the toned image on the paper during the fusing process.
fuser slide plate. A metal plate in the printer onto which you slide a fuser when installing it in the printer.
G
gateway address. The computer location of a device that connects two dissimilar local area networks (LANs) or that connects a LAN to a wide area network (WAN), minicomputer, or mainframe.
gradient. A test print that shows an image with multiple stripes that begin in full color on one end and gradually reduce the color content to nearly zero so that only the white paper is visible on the other end.
graphical user interface (GUI). A design for the part of a software program that interacts with the user and takes advantage of the bitmapped graphics displays of PCs. A GUI uses
graphics device interface (GDI). The graphics and display technology used on computers running the Windows operating system. GDI is the equivalent of the PostScript language that sends words and pictures to the printer.
grayscale. A series of shades from white to black.
H
halftone. A printing method that simulates
help map. A document you can print to guide you to the printer’s operator panel, push buttons, and panel lights. The help map lists the menus and tells you how to access each menu.
Hold queue. A job storage area for the printer. When you submit a job to the Hold queue, the printer gets the job immediately and stores it on the hard disk. Jobs in the Hold queue do not print or clear from the printer until someone uses the IBM Color Spooler to move them to the Print queue or to discard them from the printer’s hard disk. See also Direct queue, Print queue, Printed queue, spooling.
I
IBM Color Calibrator. A software utility program that enables you to keep the printer’s colors at a consistent performance level across time.
IBM Color Downloader. A software utility program that enables you to print PostScript and encapsulated PostScript files directly to the printer without using the application in which the files were created. Printing with the Downloader is faster than printing from applications and also enables you to manage the printer fonts installed on the printer.
IBM Color Spooler. A software utility program that enables you to view the order and priority of print jobs, customize printer settings for jobs, delete jobs, and move jobs between queues. You can also use the Calibrator to see a list of the jobs the printer has finished.
icon. In a graphical user interface (GUI), an on- screen symbol that represents a function or resource of the software program or computer hardware. See also graphical user interface (GUI).
ISO sizes. A set of paper sizes used in data processing and chosen from paper sizes that are standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
