GLOSSARY

 

 

PDL

Page Description Language. Language used to describe printing

 

 

 

jobs to a Laser Printing System (LPS). PDL describes the input

 

 

 

(type, format, characteristics), performs the processing functions

 

 

 

(logical processing), and describes the output (type format, font

 

 

 

selection, accounting options).

 

 

pitch

Number of characters to the inch. (10 pitch is 10 characters per

 

 

 

inch; 12 pitch, 12 characters per inch, and so forth.)

 

 

POA

Printer Output Area. The POA, which occupies locations 0 to

 

 

 

X©000F© of the PCIA, contains information regarding printer status

 

 

 

and configuration. The POA is written by the printer and read by

 

 

 

the cluster controller.

 

point

Traditionally type is measured in points. One point is equal to

 

 

 

1/72 inch. 12-point type is roughly equal in size to 10 pitch

 

 

 

characters.

point

size

Height (measured in points) of a character set from the top of an

 

 

 

ascender, in uppercase character, to the bottom of a descender,

 

 

 

in a lowercase character.

 

 

port

Communications connection from a computer to the printer,

 

 

 

suitable for attaching a single line. That portion of a computer

 

 

 

through which a peripheral device may communicate.

 

 

 

connection between the CPU and a peripheral device. See also

 

 

 

parallel port, serial port.

 

portrait

Page orientation in which the output is printed parallel to the

 

 

 

shorter edge of the page. See also landscape.

power-up

defaults

Values that are in effect when the printer is powered up.

print

density

Relative darkness of print on the page. Very dense print appears

 

 

 

totally black. Less dense print looks lighter, and solid filled areas

 

 

 

may not be totally black.

printer commands

Instructions sent to the printer through application software

 

 

 

programs, which change printing variables such as page

 

 

 

orientation, margins, and fonts.

proportional spacing

(PS)

Refers to a font in which each character cell is of a different

 

 

 

width, according to the size and shape of the letter.

 

 

RAM

Random Access Memory. Memory used by a micro processor

 

 

 

that has the ability to read as well as write. Storage that allows

 

 

 

data (such as documents) to be stored and retrieved directly by

 

 

 

address location without reading through any other data.

 

 

reset

To restore the printer to its default configurations. This may be

 

 

 

performed at the control panel or by command.
