Glossary Note that these definitions apply specifically to printers. If a word is italicized, see that topic for more information. application program A program that helps you carry out a particular task, such as word processing or financial planning. ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standardized coding system for assigning numerical codes to letters and symbols. automatic line feed When this feature is turned on using a DIP switch, each carriage return code (CR) is automatically accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. baud rate A measure of the speed of data transmission. Usually equivalent to bits per second. bidirectional printing Printing in which the print head goes from left to right only on every other line. On the other lines, it goes from right to left. This increases the speed of printing because the head prints in both directions. binary See number systems. bit A binary digit (0 or l), which is the smallest unit of information used by a printer or computer. See also number systems. buffer See memory. byte A unit of information consisting of eight bits. Glossary GL-1
